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!

Yeah, I'm a bit skeptical of the Lego component, my guess is at best you could print Mega blocks... -Eli On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 4:27 PM, Zachery Shivers <zachery.shivers@xxxxxxxxx <mailto:zachery.shivers@xxxxxxxxx>> wrote: Plus, is your makerbot accurate to the micron? :- ) Do Lego's really require micron resolution to snap together?!
