Design guide

Five tips for a perfect print.

  1. Walls of 1,5 mm or moreThinner works for small details, but walls of 1,5–2 mm are safe for handling and shipping.
  2. Closed, watertight meshesNo holes or loose faces. Not sure? We repair files as part of the check.
  3. Colour in the fileSend OBJ (with MTL + images) or FBX with its textures, together in one ZIP, or use GLB, 3MF or VRML.
  4. Units and scaleExport in millimetres. You can always rescale in the quote tool.
  5. Hollow large partsSaves weight and cost. Hollows need at least two drain holes of 3,5 mm; the quote tool flags closed hollows, or we hollow and drain for you.
