What's the maximum layer height I can achieve on a consumer 3D Printer?

I'm using a bambulab a1 mini more specifically but I'm interested in all answers to that question.

Personally, I think the look of the extrusion can be quite nice if it's not trying to be hidden โ€“ especially with transparent PETG or something similar.

The problem with this is that you need to be able to heat that larger volume of plastic in time meaning you'd have to run it really slowly, negating a lot of the time savings with using thicc layers.
