    The down-side of a Bowden tube delivery system is the lag or slop in the tube. The upside is the reduced weight on the x-carriage hence reduced inertia to overcome. Resolution to me is all about repeatability - ie how close can you get to the same point every time you go back to it.

    Can the human eye tell the difference between 25 and 50 microns?

    Repraps can also reach those tolerations,

    Mine has a precision from about 0.1 - 0.2 mm, in the X and Y most of the time dead on (standard caliper (0.05 +-))
    The height well, the lowest layerheight i've tryed is 50 microns (0.05mm) and went pretty well.
    But the Z can sometimes be off for like 0.1-0.2mm, depends how well the Z is calibirated.

    You might tell the differance bettween 100 microns and 25.
