BEST PRACTICES

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
