pretty much the same as for regular printers.... XY resolution and Z resolution are typical. However, having said that, your results may vary... the resolution of the stepper motors (or laser) may well exceed the resolution of what can be accurately laid down, and certainly the minimum thickness of a single line of material may be considerably larger than that of the minimum resolution achievable kn a given surface. that is all before you start talking about the actual achievable quality of different configurations and technologies. laser stereolithography should be higher resolution than filament for example. I've only seen "production like" finishes achieved on top end industrial machines. that requires resolutions around 30 microns and consequently slow build times.TANSTAAFL On Sun, Oct 23, 2016 at 3:48 PM, Rohan McLeod via luv-talk < luv-talk@luv.asn.au> wrote:

Before I reply fully, what general location are you?
State, Suburb like.
Personally I'm out of Melbourne near Ballarat, but the hardware in question is in the CBD in Melbourne.
I'll post here with specifics when I get access to it all again (next few weeks or so).
I should probably also ask in this thread if other open tech is suitable to post here (we have 4 or so 3d printers based on the reprap printer firmware that we're looking to sell cheaply to homes where they'll be used for more than printing Yoda figurines).
Just as a matter of interest is there any standardised way of describing the "print resolution" of 3D printers; I notice there seems to be considerable variation in the 'roughness' of the finished printed artefacts; between top-end and economy 3D printer versions ?
