I have a new simple model that I was looking to get printed and the pricing seems very high for the amount of material that I believe it is using. Are there any suggestions to get my cost down? https://www.shapeways.com/model/955716/1851-clip.html Thank you
I can't tell how thick your model is. In general for WSF I've found 1.3mm to be a pretty good thickness. It's fairly strong and I suspect for a clip would be good. This does depend how much force will be on that clip but its a good stiffness for a lot of objects.
Thanks! Right now I have this at 2mm as I was following the guidelines for wall thickness. There will be very little force on this if at all and essentially is just holding a few paper tubes with a ball on the end inside a pouch (I will probably have 6 of these) In looking at the instructions on the materials page it almost looks like I could go to 1mm? https://www.shapeways.com/materials/strong-flexible-design-gu idelines Thanks for the advice and sorry for the double posts.
Cutting out some cool patterns makes most models more beatiful and less expensive, don't know if that would work on your model but i would give it a try given the pricing on this.
