Height test

  I decided to try putting the printer through it's paces and see how low it could go, I took it down to a layer height of 20 microns or 0.02 of a mm, so that means that to print something 1mm high that it will take 50 layers to get up to the 1mm.
  I printed these with a 0.3mm nozzle, I should have swapped it out for my 0.2mm nozzle, I may repeat the test again with the smaller nozzle just to see how it looks.
  With  the setup I did you could not see the detail with the naked eye as it was too fine, in fact I had to give it a black ink wash to get all the texture of the feathers and the lines in the log to be visible and still I had to zoom in all the way to see the detail, I didn't crop the picture because I wasn't smart enough to photograph it on a dime or anything so I wanted my index finger that is behind it visible just to give some sort of perspective.
