The problem with defining a "buildable RP file" is that it dependant on the
system in use. On my RTM I can build a free standing vertical wall at 0.004.
and what about the realm of nano technology. I recently heard about a high
density laser application where they cut a layer to build a wine glass that
was 2 microns in diameter.....

It is truly in the eyes of the system owner to determine what is "buildable"
