3D Printing Precision
This cluster revolves around discussions of precision, resolution, and limitations of various 3D printing technologies like FDM, resin, and SLS for detailed structures, including layer lines, calibration, infill, and printer comparisons.

Probably some combination. They used a cheap printer - I can't imagine those little prusa motors and gears are particularly precise with high-frequency, micro changes, even if they can get good consistency
It probably lacks the resolution to do it. That said, why do you want that when a 2d printer works fine?
Has anyone tried printing this with an FDM printer?
You are referring to FDM printers. The OP is talking about SLS printers which don't have this issue.
It's much slower than FDM (at least in my experience using a formlabs printer).
Out should ask this question in the 3d printer tips and tricks Google group.
What printer and resin are you using?
Bear in mind, this stuff is not easy to print!
Does it work when 3rd printed? How sensitive is it to infill options or infill density variations?
The revolution will be when we can use 1000's of printheads in parallel. I don't think that's SF, more of an engineering problem. A bit like a 'dot matrix' printer for PLA.
