"Ultra" .05 Layer Height

The Prusa marketing materials show comparative resolutions and include an "Ultra" setting of .05 mm. The Prusa Slic3r utility has various presets, but the minimum I see is .15mm.

What do I need to do to print at higher resolutions?

Also, I am using the extruder nozzle that was shipped with my Prusa MK2s. Should I be using a different nozzle if I want to try doing very high resolution prints?

Thanks in advance for any insights.

The multi material slic3r is different from direct drive. MMU only has presets down to .15mm.

Re: "Ultra" .05 Layer Height

Currently only a couple of layer heights are supported by the Post Processor.

You can still print at "Fine" resolution with a single filament, but note that 70 microns is now the lowers resolution possible; I believe this is due to the larger filament drive pulleys used meaning only 140 steps per millimeter (was 161.3 with the single filament printer).
