I want to print something in silver, so i checked the max measurements and it says: 15x15x3cm(*)
But this (*) says: (*) Dependent on the design, for more information see Silver Design Rules
Silver design rules
The basics...
Wall thickness minimum: .6 mm ---> yes
Detail thickness minimum: .3 mm ---> yes
And no Embossing needed...
So what other factors do I need to be aware of if I want to print in Silver?
Will that mean I am able to print a larger model?
Please help!
thanks!

Hi Monique,
No this is the maximum size.
But if you take the maximum size of 15x15x3cm, the model needs to have a thicker wallthickness then the 0.6mm as it will probably be to fragile if you have a long wall of 15cm which is just 0.6mm thick.
Good luck with your design!

Hi Monique & Jettuh
Even small items in silver sometimes need larger than 0.6mm wall thickness. 
For a larger-than-printable item, I'd suggest multiple models that would be able to be soldered together - or find a company that will supply the wax models that can be joined together before invstement.
