Small layer heights with the M2

How small of a layer is possible with the MakerGear M2?
I would like to get as much detail as possible and will be needing a program small layers to do this.

Re: how small

22MIL2DAY,

Typically I print with a layer thickness of 0.2 mm, a lot of people use 0.15 or 0.1 mm. MakerGear has done some experimental prints down to 0.02 mm layer thickness (20 microns) with some amazing detail.

Search the MakerGear forum for answers like this. Lots of this sort of stuff has been covered there. Go to http://www.makergear.com/ and in the "Instructions" pull-down menu, select "MakerGear Google Group".
