I'm in Central Indiana, where in Ohio are they? Even tight banding is an issue for me. I did some scale barrels and to the naked eye they looked pretty good. I did a product shot and it looks like basket weaving.

S scale - 1:64

O Scale - 1:48

You would think I ordered a printer or something.

Irish,
Makergear operate here in Ohio so I had a chance to see that yoda in person, that was done on their M2.  It was insanely impressive.  I was to blown away to even ask how long it took to print. I believe the Ultimaker has also done .02mm as well. I

I started prototyping (my first real design!) an adapter to attach my 60x pocket scope (< $5) to my iphone5 so that I can take some good macros of my banding to test with that experimental firmware fork and to inspect/show off my filastruder produced clear abs (once I get this beta2 put together). 

.3mm is smaller then the banding in my fingerprint, .1mm looks insane next to a finger as well.  Would love to get a chance to photo a .02mm. Here are some early photos.

Can we see the scope mod? I'd love to do this to my Lumia

.028" inches?  That's .71mm.  Everyone here could send you a bucket with .016" on the day they get their printer.

I presume you mean .028mm if you're bragging on it.   

I'm sure that's what he meant

There are printers that can handle abs prints at .02mm.

Which ones? I've seen some real fine work done on a Replicator (kit) unit but it took him quite a bit to accomplish that. Lots and lots of tries. He sent me small buckets with .028" wall thickness.

I wasn't aware of that.

Remember to investigate whether resin printers have suitable structural properties for your needs.  Also you want to calculate the volume cost, as resin is somewhat appreciably more expensive than ABS

Problem is the ABS printers can't provide the quality and fine detail that I need, that simple. As far as hobby 3D printers go the SD2 is at the top of the list for value = performance.

You need to read the rest of this thread to understand I work in scale minatures. A wooden barrel in 1:87 scale 5/8" high by 1/4" in diameter with detail showing the staves and bands. I need wall thicknesses of 1/32" on many pieces. There's no way you're going to do that fine with most ABS filament printers. I've seen some nice work from some but it took days to get it. That's not logical if you are in business. Resin is far cheaper than the FUD that Shapesways uses.
