I've just received my order, and just want to show, one more time, with some pictures of the pieces received how is important to be able to determinate print orientation.

In the picture you can see an armband and a ring, from my BLACK WIDOW Collection, as you can see side one side in both pieces has a very bad quality. I have other 5 BLACK WIDOW armbands at home printed with the correct orientation (the uploaded file position) and they are just perfects.

I've already sent an e-mail to the CS, I know what they can do.

This post is just to remember how the possibility to choose the correct orientation is very helpful for the final quality.



Hoping to hear also your opinion,

Cheers,

I was under the assumption last year that print orientation was being looked into but haven't seen any recent news.]]> thomashuang.net 2012-07-06T11:23:33-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50920&th=10069#msg_50920 Youknowwho4eva 2012-07-06T13:51:25-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=50924&th=10069#msg_50924
Thanks for this update, it is a good news. Orientation is really important, it prevents a lot of quality issues!

Keep us updated about this,
thanks again!

Selfishly speaking, this will turn a lot of my models from 'ok' (only 1 item in my latest order 'winning the lottery', i.e. getting printed in the preferred orientation) into "OMGWT*BBQ!"

Cheers!

EDIT: Forgot to mention that, FWIW, my (main) models utilizes Frosted Ultra Detail materials]]> matt_atknsn 2012-07-06T20:46:20-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=60269&th=10069#msg_60269 Bunrattypark 2013-01-15T20:36:58-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=61233&th=10069#msg_61233 Youknowwho4eva wrote on Fri, 06 July 2012 13:51
Hey guys, orientation is on the way! ... is possibly 2-3 months out...


Hej
As the previous writer I have great problems using Shapeways services until this is solved.

When can we expect this feature to be available?

thanks
