Raise3D

Files MUST:

• be in .idea format (grouping of all your parts scaled)
  • if your .idea file contains more than one physically independent model, each must be their own .STL*
  • Models must show only green checkmarks
• 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 1/8"
  • We will not print any files containing feature thickness under 1/8"
  • 1/8" is the minimum for simple and rectilinear geometries
    • More complex geometries (such as curves) should be thicker to avoid printing issues
    • Your print may break if complex features are 1/8"

*This means that all components of your idea file/group are within their own STL file. For example: if you expect 3 standalone models, each of those models needs to be its own STL.

Good Example:

This user needed multiple copies of a model, so they made duplicates of their STL in ideaMaker. Note how each copy is individually selectable.

Bad Example:

This user needed multiple copies of a model, but they made their duplicates in Rhino and exported all of them together as a single STL. Notice how all copies aren't individually selectable.

Stratasys

Files MUST:

• be exported to .STL format, one model per file!*
• be less than 14" x 10" x 14", scaled in inches
• 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 1/16"
  • 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
    • Your print may break if complex features are 1/16"
