What printer are you using that has 20um resolution? My printer claims 20um minimum layer height, but if I choose the "high detail" preset it defaults to 50um. If I manually change only the layer height to 20um, it prints much worse....looks like it is melting what it already printed, and just making a mess. Maybe I have to change many other things to avoid this. I tried messing with some of the other parameters (fan, etc. ) but I never found anything that prints better than the "high detail" default settings with 50um layer height.

What is MRC's stance/thoughts on guys printing these parts for a fee for others without printers? Not trying to start a flame war, just wondering.
They specifically ask you not to monetize the files in any way

Do you have 3d modeling experience? you did a nice job with those.

Here's my best shot at some cockpit panels. I'm coming to the conclusion it's going to be very difficult to recreate the quality you see in Motions pre-printed parts on any level of hobbyist 3D printer. I think I'll be able to get "good enough" level, but at the price of $20 or so the factory prints will be a bargain and will likely be the highest quality prints available. For those of you thinking of buying a printer, keep this in mind.

bbaumer, what speed and other basic settings are you using, if you don't mind sharing?
I'm using Simplify 3D printing at .2mm layer height, 2 perimeters, 100% infill (not that it needs that much, 30-50% would probably work well), 210/60C temps, at 50mm/s.

I've got 3 basic levels of detail to select from with standard printing, or I can select a spiral mode. I've never dug into the custom settings much. Looking into it, the fine settings are
.10mm layer height 40% fill, 3 perimeters, speeds are .8mm/s on first layer, 25mm/s pretty typical elsewhere, i'm using a .3mm nozzle and printing with PLA
It also calculates all its own supports, you can see those in my earlier picture as the lattice work underneath parts
Temperatures are read from an EEProm on the spool, including bed and head temps
