Here's what it says and it's happened each time.
"Hi ,
Uh oh! Seems like your model needs a bit more love before our robots can work their magic.
The 3D model Tree Stump Plant Pot you recently uploaded didn't pass all our automated checks, so it's not yet ready for 3D printing.
Our tutorials and FAQ can be super helpful for more detailed information, or you can always ask the community a specific question on our forum
If you're stuck or have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out at service@shapeways.com. Please include the file attached to the email, as well as any notes on your design, so we can help you solve your problem as quickly as possible.

I'm guessing the trangle count is too high.
Load the model into NetFabb, down on the bottom right, next to dimensions, the triangle count will be displayed.
Shapeways maximum is 1,000,000 (1 million ), as a binary STL the file size will be under 48MB

Hi shariff,
I inspected the file and it's fine - just be sure to select 'meters' as the unit size when uploading. The error mail should contain more helpful information, I'll pass it along to our team.
Thanks!

it's worked nicely but on the 3d generated view u guys made the model is showing polys why is this I was intending a smooth surface.

Our printers will print the 'pure' geometry - they can't apply any smoothing. If you need less faceting, you should increase the resolution of your model before exporting.

ok but will it manually be smoothed by sanding later, just want to know it's confusing sorry.
probably a stupid question but i'll ask. Will I be charged for the production of my model just want to be clear.

In the "polished" materials you get some tumbling, but I'm pretty sure there's no hand sanding.
Except by you!
