FILE REQUIREMENTS

FILE FORMAT

STL files (ASCII or binary) up to 50 MB

STEP, OBJ, 3MF also accepted

GEOMETRY

Watertight and closed geometry required

No holes, gaps, or non-manifold edges

MODEL COUNT

One model per file preferred

Small duplicates can be grouped

DESIGN OPTIMISATION

WALL THICKNESS

Minimum 1.2mm for structural integrity

2mm+ recommended for functional parts

STRESS RELIEF

Use chamfers and fillets on edges

Reduces warping and improves durability

OVERHANGS

Keep angles under 55° when possible

Steeper angles may need support material

PRO TIPS
ORIENTATION MATTERS

Position parts to minimise supports

DETAIL RESOLUTION

Features <0.4mm may not print clearly

QUALITY VS SPEED

Lower layers increase detail and time

COLOR MATCHING

Send references for custom matches
