This right here. As long as your layers are bonding properly and everything else is equal, layer height is not a major factor in strength. I usually use 0.2 for most everything, and fuzzy skin to give the impression of print quality. Seems to work reasonably well:
You'd need to adjust your slicer at minimum. It's always a good idea to calibrate for all your nozzles though. Sounds like it's time to get some more filament regardless.
Maybe swap to a 0.6mm nozzle. Lots of filaments with additives (glitter, CF, etc..) like to clog up on 0.4.

Thanks! It shoots great.
And yeah, if I'm doing smaller parts I'll drop the layer height down a bit on the 0.4 nozzle, or swap over to the 0.25 nozzle and drop it way down for the really small stuff. Most everything I do is large enough that I just stick to 0.4/0.2 though. Layer height around 50% of nozzle orifice seems to be a good place.
