I export with Rhino v2 and I can view the files in other programs without problem. Why aren't they usable by the printer by default?

An other question: is it possible to zoom in the 3D tool on this site?

So far, I've tried weld, but that does not make a difference as the STL is exactly the same]]> svenpb 2008-08-02T15:22:48-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=513&th=203#msg_513 Sovereign 2008-08-03T03:28:41-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=517&th=203#msg_517 Sovereign wrote on Sat, 02 August 2008 23:28
I only had a problem with Rhino to STL because the model was too big, as STL is interpreted in meters (which meant my model was tens of meters long). When you create a new model, choose "Millimeters" for your scale and then Scale 3D typing .01 at the prompt. Then export.


True. But There was a mail telling me that they've made it "printable". I wonder what they have done.

I think you mean 0.001]]> svenpb 2008-08-03T09:24:14-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=552&th=203#msg_552 dymihail 2008-08-04T04:37:03-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=680&th=203#msg_680
