    0.045mm is a good enough resolution for most prints (0.05 is considered typical layer thickness for laser based printing), and can be doubled (ie rise halved) to 0.0225mm by increasing the tank diameter to 8,5 cm, and almost tripled (approx 0.015mm) by going to 10cm.
    Of course that also decreased the max rise speed, but then again, how many filament 3D printers complete a 0.2mm (standard thickness for those printers) layer in 1 sec?
    Also faster pumps usually also mean less accuracy...
