    I have had a number of items printed at Shapeways and a competitor in Stainless Steel/Bronze. The automated check for Thin Walls is now listing items successfully and correctly printed as having THIN WALLS and being therefore NOT PRINTABLE.

    For example: https://www.shapeways.com/model/1117832/climax-f462-brake-sh oe-holder-1-8th-scale.html?li=aeTabs

    AND: https://www.shapeways.com/model/1116902/journal-box-1-8th-sc ale.html?li=aeTabs

    I have the four Journal Boxes I presently require but have not ordered the additional three (3) Brake Shoe Holders and under present guide lines I cannot.

    How do one inform Shapeways that YES IT IS PRINTABLE if the automated wall check says NO.

    There should be no need to inform them, as the wall thickness check is informational only (and known to have limitations such as treating all surface details like walls).
