Has anyone thought about printing narrower lines in order to get sharper corners? Once Linear advance or Pressure advance is activated, you don't get bulging corners anymore... but can we do better?

Has this been implemented anywhere yet? Does it have a name?

This is definitely not true of OrcaSlicer, at least not anymore. I’m running an 0.6mm nozzle and 120% layer width at 0.2mm layer height results in 0.72mm line width, not 0.24mm.

It makes more sense for this parameter to be relative to the nozzle width if you ask me. But that doesn't change that you can extrude wider or narrower than the nozzle.
