Hi,

Is there a way to get samples printed with thin layers of 10-100 micron thickness? The preferable material is glass and epoxy but something similar to glass and epoxy would also work. Please comment if you have any information.

Thanks,
Dev

Because bed leveling is almost impossible for those resolutions you need to use raft. Otherwise the filament is not going to stick to the bed well even with epoxy, you will be either damaging your bed bringing the nozzle too close to it or squishing the first few layers that does not look good on the edges (the bottom surface will be nice and flat). The only thing that can give a nice flat sticky surface is the filament itself for that much accuracy.

Hello @vermad,

The highest desktop FDM resolution is about 50 microns, some can go slightly lower. It is possible to print two 50 micron layers to give you something of 100 microns. I do not know anyone who can print that in glass or epoxy. Usually for FDM, the material has to be a thermoplastic.

Cheers,

James
