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.
