Design Rules
Black and White JPGS (.jpg files) only. No .gif, .png, etc.
| Good Idea | Bad Idea (Black and White only! This is color..) |

| Good Idea | Bad Idea (Black and White only! This is grayscale..) |
|

Design rules still apply. If you have thin lines, it will likely result in thin walls (meaning failed prints or order rejections).

Please try to clean your pictures up. Avoid speckling, this will likely result in thin walls and failed prints.
| Good Idea | Bad Idea (image too noisy, lots of specks) |

If you want to remove the base, please remember to connect all your lines. Free floating graphics will translate into free floating objects, which will fall out of the model. These models and Shapeways are not immune to the laws of gravity
| Good Idea | Bad Idea (the question mark will fall out of the frame) |

| Good Idea | Bad Idea (the individual letters will not stick together) |
