Hi Anthony,
... the actual extruder is capable of nearly 0,5mm (eventually 0,3mm) thick trays from melted plastic, so it's the actual detail-size.
As comercial FDM-printers are capable of 0,2mm to 0,1mm thick traces and other types can output until 0,03 mm wide and 0,02 mm high droplets, this would be the goal to go with the reprap too ...
One major limitation of the present system is the lack of a second support-extruder (so you can't make overhangs) but it's adressed too.
So i'll say it's possible, but you have some limitations ...
Viktor
