Has the exclusion procedure for stainless steel parts recently been made more strict? The part shown above was printed once successfully (received by me) as it is shown in that picture (no reinforcement to the thin section) under a previous revision/file:

Another part was printed twice (one under the current revision to a customer, once to me under a previous revision), but is now considered unprintable:

(the red highlighted ribs have to be removed before use)

How far reaching are the advanced design rules for the stainless material? (what kind of maximum unsupported distance vs thickness, ribs/support options, etc.)
Is a 3mm flat unsupported section preferable to a 2mm thick ribbed/cross structure?
If I have to increase the total thickness on all of these parts, it's going to increase the cost quite a but, but also really increase the amount of material that has to be removed before installation.
I'm not sure what the best way to proceed is.
