Hey everyone,
Continuing my adventure with the not-willingly-uploadable Elf, I now have a 'successful' upload, which features the right dimensions... but no volume! -_-
I'm stumped... Does anyone have any experience with this? I've tried inverting the normals, but no luck. =/
The model in-shop: http://www.shapeways.com/model/189202/christmas_caroler_elf. html?gid=ug19892
Thanks in advance,
Patrick
===============================
Me again. I'd really like to have this print ordered before Dec. 12th, but I'm not sure what this upload error means. =/

Unfortunately, we were not able to ... print your product. The error message was: empty output.

EDIT: Got a different error now: "Error while unifying: 17". I've tried recalculating the normals as well as inverting them, but neither worked. The only part I managed to get uploaded properly was the base of the figure.
I can wait for the automatic repair service, but I'm afraid it'll be too late then. Can anyone please help me? I'll attach the .zip in good faith that no-one will steal it, yada-yada, etc. 
Model info:
Extension - .zip (.wrl + .png)
Scale - 0.01 (to compensate for VRML scale. First upload returned the 'too big' error)
Modeling program - Blender 2.55
Exported to VRML97 (wrl) in blender 2.49
Thanks in advance,
Patrick

I'm having similar problems. Tried to upload a model and got the 'error while unifying 17" Not sure what it's unifying, it's one mesh.
I decided to try uploading the simpler base mesh and got the 'empty output error.
The base mesh was a lathed object that I made sure was manifold. I was taken into ZBrush for subdivision and detailing. I the lated object the problem? I've never gotten these errors before.
