The μRepRap project has achieved 10-micron feature sizes for under $300, matching the scale of early microprocessors. By using complementary flexures and pantograph-style reducers, the system increased its range from 2mm to 8mm with high Z-axis stability. Utilizing UV-curable nail gel solves oxygen inhibition, enabling the first layered micro-prints in open-air. This shift democratizes micro-fabrication, moving MEMS and circuitry production from cleanrooms to desktop systems. 🛠️🔬 #3DPrinting #Microfabrication #RepRap #Innovation
