Hello Shapeways community,
I am currently working on my first model that I would like to print out. It will not be perfect but I hope it will pass the printing stage without too much trouble. The gallery on the site is very impressive, I've seen some Assassin's Creed and Portal rings that I found really cool!
I'd also like to ask you guys some questions.
Right now in my scene I have one mesh that I would like to keep standard. All other meshes are more detailed and I have Catmull Clark enabled on those. Will it matter for the 3D printer if I have some models without Catmull Clark, and some with CC enabled?
I'm also kind of worried about the thin walls rule. I am making a medal and on the medal are very tiny detailed objects. I try to keep it as simple as possible but there are some lines that are very small but essential. Will this matter, as it is in the centre of the medal (it only serves as a decoration and not for making the medal tough)
Thanks!
