Below diameters of about 0.25 mm the nozzle tends to clog with ordinary room fuzz. Cleaning the filament helps, but, in round numbers, you're still stuck with barely sub-millimeter-ish XY resolution: a peninsula-shaped feature requires two side-by-side threads. My M2 has a 0.35 mm nozzle and produces a reliable 0.4 mm thread, so the thinnest wall works out to 0.8 mm. That's why all the manufacturers now tout their printer "resolution" as, oh, 50 microns and conveniently leave out the fact that they're talking about Z axis resolution. I suppose it's just marketing. -- Ed softsolder.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Windows: Build for Windows Store. http://p.sf.net/sfu/windows-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
