Henner's latest tests look amazing:

line test post on GooglePlus:

Note the followup conversation:  moire patterns in the image are due
to image conversion settings -- the moire produced in mechanical
dimensions is not visible in the shown image.

Image output video: https://plus.google.com/+HennerZeller/posts/LEEdE5KDM9J
Note the copy of the early MC Escher woodblock at the end.

This is a remarkably low cost machine solution with matching or excess
accuracy compared to other possible hobby/technical level prototyping
flows; a good set of tradeoffs to consider if you are interested in
building one of your own.
