I was going to point that out as well. You beat me to it!

And yes, I thought about also trying to make the letters skinnier because the filament will be pulled in on the edges to make things either slightly smaller, in the case of holes, or slightly larger in the case of letters. That being said, the .2mm will help negate that a bit more. I am trying another print with the text reduced in size. We'll see how that turns out. I should get the .2mm nozzle tomorrow. I've also reduce the depth of the threads to match the original a little more. Not necessary since it will be screwed in, but for my own curiosity!
