Yes, but in general everyone that buys an FDM printer for things like that is unhappy. Your parts will look 3D printed. If you care about fine detail, you really want an SLA printer.

(The fact that this printer is small doesn't make it any better at small parts. It just takes up less space and can't print bigger parts.)

I got into 3d printing about 6 months ago and am thrilled every time I print something. But 100% of the things I design and print are practical and solve some sort of problem. My parts look 3D printed, but I don't care, because they're performing a useful task. Many people on the Internet are not interested in that, they just want to produce injection-mold quality parts from 3D models at home. If that's your use case, don't buy this. The SLA printers are much much better at that.

What you might be able to do, is print at 5x/10x size in order to verify your designs, then have them printed in final 1x form by a commercial service?

Thanks, I know nothing about 3D printing. Thanks for the pointers.
