Related to that, I saw when Rusty posted about it that the B9 creator is being used for casting of metal jewellery with fine detail that might even be down to the level of pipe threads like those. Which makes me interested in this on general metal-printing principle as well. Quoted max XY resolution 50 microns, Z 6.xx, looks subjectively like that transfers to the metal in the ring photo.
Anyone want to split the cost of acquiring one of these and doing metal casting?

If anyone is going to this, and doesn't already have something in mind to print, please consider this silly looking 1/8" pipe thread adapter I designed today. british straight pipe thread on one end, national pipe tapered thread on the other, if this prints out properly it will be very useful for connecting run of the mill domestic fittings to cheap imported air valves...for science. The big question is whether the steep threads involved will work on this printer...huge thank you to anyone who takes this on! attached are the original solidworks part, an STL export, and a screenshot of a section view if anyone without the cad software is curious.
