Could you post your slicer settings for that? Also did you have to use and extra fan and duct? If so which would you recommend. Also I'm working on my beard

...and grew an awesome beard in the process wink

2.) You are referring to layer resolution. This is quite different from tolerance.
3.) All 3D printers can be commanded to perform layer heights less than 0.1mm. Even without considering microstepping, the layer resolution of a Solidoodle is 0.07mm. This number is meaningless as the mechanical backlash and deformation are much larger. Some 3D printers are better at it that others, depending on their mechanical design. Utilimakers get good results from layer heights as low as 20 microns (0.02mm).
4.) Printing at layer heights that low is painfully slow. If you need that level of resolution, look to SLA printers. 0.02mm layer prints take 15 times longer than 0.3mm prints.

I'm just curious about the level of the technology
