And we all know how awesome megablocks are... :- )
I heard somewhere that real LEGO have +/- 10 micron in their fabrication, but I don't have a source on that, and that current extruded plastic printers have about 4x that in terms of resolution and (even more importantly) thickness of a single extruded layer.
Surely we are definitely < 5 years from hobbyist-level sub-10 micron accurate printers!

        Plus, is your makerbot accurate to the micron? :- )


    Do Lego's really require micron resolution to snap together?!
