    Unless you are using a bigger nozzle, the default 0.4 mm nozzle cannot print at a 0.4 mm layer height. The general rule of thumb (although ratios vary slightly depending on who you speak to) is that layer height as a function of orifice diameter should be in the 25 - 75% range. That means that you can expect results with a 0.3 mm maximum layer height, of course you might be able to get results slightly (like hundredths of a mm) higher too, but it will require work.
