The materials page says 1 mm for details and 3 mm for walls. 3 mm especially seems a bit large, especially for a ring, which I am creating.

Another page in the forums says "it depends."

Is there additional guidance?]]> GuyInLogan 2011-09-07T17:08:30-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=33952&th=6348#msg_33952 Stainless Steel Material Page (under Want to know more?) there's a link to Stainless Steel Design Rules, scroll all the way down and under Want to break some rules?, there's another link - Stainless steel: under 3 mm walls

Go break some rules, I did


[edit] sorry, forgot my manners...

Welcome to Shapeways!

I took a look at your file in NetFabb. At 0.06mm thick, the model is too thin for stainless... in fact it's too thin for any of the materials Shapeways offers. What dimensions is your model supposed to have? (I'm seeing L=6.34mm, W=2.43mm & H=0.06mm)

Cheers,
Paul

Dimensions:   16.1 w x 6.2 d x 0.2 h cm

It doesn't really matter the differences between what we are seeing for the dimensions because Shapeways has software checks (MeshMedic) in place that limits the availability of materials if the smallest dimension is less than 2.51mm... stainless is one of those materials.

From the ProMetal website, it says that the equipment can either lay down 0.002" layers or 0.008" layers. Obviously this would result in dramatically different levels of detail. Has anyone seen any post from shapeway stating how the machine is running?

This would be similar to the regular/ultra detail frosted materials. ]]> Tamert 2011-11-18T00:21:14-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=38966&th=6348#msg_38966

Nickle: very probably
Not in the steel (the 400 series does not contain nickle), but the bronze alloy probably contains nickle.
