I have an Anycubic Photon, which is reasonably precise, but the supports needed to make the part stable during the curing process make the printing of tiny wire wheels impossible. And the resin is very brittle, so tiny wires in this material are too fragile.

I made the wheels you see in the pictures through the Multi Jet process and in VisiJet M3-X material, which is a kind of ABS and can stand detail of 0,016mm of thickness. But had to order to a 3D printing bureau, and it was not cheap...

Help, please
Hi Joaquin,

i`m not sure if it works, but have you tried in navigation area the "add file" or "add content" function? Last time i loaded up a pdf was in the old forum, don`t remember it realy good.

If you have personal web space, you can upload it there and put a link to it in a message in the thread.
If you don't have web space, i could put it online for you. All i need is a copy of the file sent to me per email or so.
Bestbalsakits@telenet.be should do the trick.

Should you find other solution, or just like to steer away from my proposal, all good!

Joaquin, you did a beautiful job with your document. Much better than the one I did.

Many thanks to you and Wim for sharing it with us.
