Hehe, I just grabbed the number off wolfram alpha's size comparison. Wouldn't surprise me if they are wrong, not sure where they scrape the data from. Anyway, my point stands, six microns is still stupidly small. Some dust or hair on the cutting edge and your precision is now out the window.

six microns

Given that human chromosomes are on the order of 5 to 10 microns, I am thinking this export regulation doesn't apply to the hobby market. This is "use the machine in a clean room" level precision.

I still haven't finished it so I am still forming an overall opinion, but its certainly interesting so far.

Blindsight was great, I need to read it a second time.

The Three-Body Problem by Liu Cixin. I love reading science fiction from people with engineering and science backgrounds. Another good book I finished recently was Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir.

There is an effort to backup all of reddit to archive.org. Perhaps you can use that to retrieve them?
