Have I done something to the file to make it this way, could it be a glitch?... or Is it more likely I have simply broken some design rule particular to silver?

Doesn't seem to give much wriggle room for large rings, unless you build them narrow and align it lying down? ..back to the drawing board I guess :/ ]]> Tigermoth 2012-10-15T13:05:09-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=55379&th=11188#msg_55379 . The reason is that's the limit of the wax printer. As much as we ask it to print larger, it's stuck at it's mechanical restraints. ]]> Youknowwho4eva 2012-10-15T13:31:14-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=55402&th=11188#msg_55402
So does this mean If I shrink the 3.092d dimension to under 3, it will automatically align itself into the bounding box? Even though it may no be the optimal print axis?

Also, I was under the impression Silver production was similar to Stainless sintering, as previous SW silver prints seemed to have no discernible sprue marks! Has it always been lost wax? If so, where are the sprue marks!? (not that I'm complaining about the lack of them! )]]> Tigermoth 2012-10-15T21:39:02-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=55405&th=11188#msg_55405 Bathsheba 2012-10-15T22:09:21-00:00
