I see so much info about printing with larger nozzles and such. Not much on smaller. Is there anything I should worry about that I might not be expecting?

Be careful printing filaments like glow in the dark, shimmer, marble, galaxy, wood, etc with particles in it since they can clog up the small orifice of the nozzle.

Why did the end of that sentence make me feel uncomfortable?

Maybe "small orifice" triggers you like words such as "moist" does with some people?

mmmmm, moist orifices...
