Design Guidelines
Follow these proven guidelines to ensure optimal print quality and successful results. Our recommendations are based on years of professional 3D printing experience.
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 Optimization
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 for Perfect Prints
Additional recommendations from our printing experts
Orientation Matters
Position parts to minimize supports and maximize strength along stress lines.
Detail Resolution
Features smaller than 0.4mm may not print clearly with standard nozzles.
Balance Quality vs Speed
Lower layer heights increase detail but extend print time significantly.
Color Matching
Send color references for custom matches. Standard colors always available.
