50 microns is 0.002". I don't know what all goes into the determining the accuracy, but 0.002" is easy to get using hobby grade CNC linear slides used on desktop milling machines. I expect the price will be very reasonable.

I've been following a similar blog about a low cost engraving laser kit, using a Chinese tube as it's most expensive component. Several have been built for around $2,000 and compare with commercial units costing 10 times as much. Reminds me of the home brew computer movement back in the 70's.

At any rate, MoI is ready to design parts for this machine.

Kit price will be around 1000 dollars ....see old blog entries ... and make things 25000 dollars machines do.

News on the blog .....

i'm interested at 50um at reasonable cost.

The 16um printer was a little too expensive for us to "try".

If we new it would work for us cost is not as much of an issue.

The surface finish and wall thickness of FDM printed objects won't work for the application I have in mind.

More specs would be helpful.

Materials that it prints in? Speed?
