Checklist for Successful File Submission

Raise3D

be in .idea format (grouping of all your parts scaled)
be less than 11.8” x 11.8” x 23.8”
be repaired in Netfabb
- You must provide a screenshot of step 8 (the import and auto-repair) for each file
  - If you change your file in any way after you run the repair in Netfabb, you need to run it through again
- We will not print any files without an associated screenshot that shows your model has been repaired
have a minimum feature thickness of (TBD)
- We are still working on this, but 1/16" is the current minimum
- The actual minimum will be larger than 1/16" as we aren't currently using soluble support on these machines
- We will not print any files containing feature thickness under 1/16"
  - Even the 1/16" features are only made possible due to the use of soluble support material
- 1/16" is the minimum for simple and rectilinear geometries
  - More complex geometries (such as curves) should be thicker to avoid printing issues
  - Even if your model passes Shapeways with no warnings, your print may break if complex features are 1/16"

be less than 14" x 10" x 14", scaled in inches
