Yes i completely understand your reasoning for having the limitations, and would be perfectly fine if my setup/needs were not so abnormal..
I need to go as slow as 1mm/min (0.0167mm/sec)

Thankyou!!

@ben_van Fascinating stuff. Out of curiosity, are you using "standard" 1.75mm diameter filament? I've always thought that to extrude tiny amounts of filament, the way forward is to use something that has a much smaller cross sectional area to start with.

I didn't mention that this machine doesn't use filaments. It uses a tightly focused laser (we can easily change the dot size) to solidify tissue-like gels that are synthesised with certain proteins etc. It is somewhat similar to a traditional SLA machine but with differences in the layering methods.
Extruding filaments to that size would be cool though, and i definitely agree with you there. Other than there not being much of a demand for printing such small things, maybe filaments with such small diameters would just be too fragile..
