3D printing limitations

August 05, 2016, 09:06:56 am

Hi,

What are the limitations of the 3D printing service? do models need to be able to support themselfs while printing like on a reprep-style printer or can we print a hollow cube in 1 piece? (with 1 or 2 holes to remove the unused material)

Thanks,
Remco

1.2 mm minimum thickness, other than that they've never rejected anything. Probably it should be able to support itself in the SLA machine, and I'm not sure how they'd react to a solid cube :)
