Behind the scenes:
Alright, now this is more something I can work with. I was looking at the usual suspects we recommend, and I'll put up a list here with information about each of these, the differences they have to other ones, and any caveats about getting them, as well as the price. So, from cheapest to most expensive:
That about wraps it up for right now, I hope this was helpful.
A Flexystruder accessory for printing NinjaFlex on a LulzBot Mini is in development, but we have not made any formal announcements at this time. You can see the source files and track progress here: http://devel.lulzbot.com/mini/accessories/
Plenty of reviews online (Amazon, PCMag Editors' Choice, Computerworld), and a number of people on this subreddit who I'm sure will chime in with their experience using a Mini. If have any questions please contact us -- thanks!
I use HIPS, which as far as I understand it is basically the same plastic used in many precision miniatures. But I don't have any personal experience to indicate that other materials could not produce similar results. This is with a 0.5mm nozzle and .18mm layer height on a Lulzbot Mini. Basically pretty good resolution for a solid home printer, but not especially high end or anything like that.
If you're interested, I have a basic introduction to 3D printing for wargaming here:

I also have a couple basic observations here on printing this particular piece:

Good luck!

Hey there, thanks for the response!
I found the line you linked on Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/LulzBot-Mini-Desktop-3D-Printer/dp/B00S54E1AI) and also found the LuzBot TAZ 5 (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01143UJK2).
They both look amazing!
One thing I am really aiming for is as small of a resolution as possible (layer thickness). As in, a super fine print capability (For smooth, non-grainy objects).
How would these 2 rank with other printers in the same price range ($1250 + $2200)?
Many thanks in advance!
