not exactly. That's merely the output nozzle diameter. "Resolution" is a bit ambiguous here, but I think it would be fair to differentiate: Movement resolution is 0.1mm, while "dot size" is 0.4mm. You can perfectly well "draw" a 0.6mm long

Well, but those 18 person-years did their part to allow those person-weeks. That is: I agree, technology got far. But there's a second phenomenon involved: human knowledge. Technology steps happen in generations, often restarting from scrat
