The project’s goal is to build a 3D printer that can print feature sizes down to about 10 microns – the same feature size used in the Intel 4004 processor. At the recent Open Everything 2026 conference, [Vik] <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dq_ZCf0-KmM" target="_blank">presented an overview</a> of all the progress he’s made in the last year, including printer improvements, material woes, and the first multi-layer prints (<a href="https://github.com/VikOlliver/RepRapMicron/blob/main/Presentations/EverythingOpen_2026_as_presented.pdf" target="_blank">presentation slides</a>).</p>
<p>The motion stage has undergone some fundamental improvements recently. The original XY motion table was supported on four flexures which allowed movement in X and Y, but also introduced slight variations in Z – obviously a problem in a system that needs to be accurate down to the microns. The latest version now uses complementary flexures to maintain a constant Z heig
