There are a few guidelines you should keep in mind when desinging objects for the 3d printer. | There are a few guidelines you should keep in mind when desinging objects for the 3d printer. | ||
* You can't print steeper | * You can't print overhangs steeper than 45 degrees without support material. Generally this is nothing to worry about though support material sometimes can be hard to be removed. | ||
* Thin solid walls must have a specific thickness, currently we are limited to 1mm, 2mm, 3mm... Any x.5mm will result in hollow walls. This is due to our extruder nozzle being 0.5mm in diameter. Above a certain thickness (I think 5mm) any value is possible, so 10.1mm walls will print just fine. | * Thin solid walls must have a specific thickness, currently we are limited to 1mm, 2mm, 3mm...

* When parts must fit into each other design with a tolerancy of ~0.5mm. Any holes or inner sides must be .5mm larger: a 3.5mm hole will be printed as 3mm hole. | * When parts must fit into each other design with a tolerancy of ~0.5mm.
