Consider these two models.
https://shpws.me/lPSh - cm: 1.5 w x 3 d x 0.3 h
https://shpws.me/lPSj - cm: 1.5 w x 3 d x 0.2 h
Both should be printable in Stainless, but only the first one will be accepted by the automated checks,
whether or not they pass manual inspection at order time is a different matter although 0.9mm wall
thickness have been printed as can be seen with the ring on my swirl pendant in the guidlines.
The point of this post is to shed some light on how to make Shapeways automated checks work
for you instead of frustrate you.
The minimum bounding box (as mentioned by Mike is 3mm on all sides) this does not mean to say
that all thicknesses have to be 3mm. To qualify as printable by the automated checks, only part of the
model needs to be 3mm - this could be a raised feature or even a perpendicular loop on a flat item.
Perhaps the minimum bounding box could be set up in a similar fashion to FCS where the bounding
box dimensions need to add up to a minimum.
