1. 3D Studio Max tells me that the object that you find attached is 40 cm x 40 cm x 21.6 cm
When I export it in .stl format and open it in Netfabb it says 40 mm x 40 mm x 21.60 mm why?!?!
But it's not over! If i send it to shapeways the system sends me this:

Unfortunately, we were not able to process and thus print your product. The error message was: Your object has not the correct size. The size is 4000.00 x 4000.00 x 2160.00 cm / 1574.80 x 1574.80 x 850.39 inch.

2. I scale down the model in 3ds max till it says that the object has these dimensions:
0.4cm x 0.4 cm x 0.4cm
But now, if i send it to shapeways, everything its ok, exception made for... THE PRICE
5,294.27 € for an empty white plastic box?!?!?!?

That's what it says:

Tell me that i've wrong something, it's impossible that the price is so high...]]> Gono 2011-11-28T00:39:53-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=39349&th=7246#msg_39349 For 1 cm of thickness your voulume is approximativaly:
40x20x4+40x40=4800 cm3.
At $1.5 per cm3 and 1.4€K per $ is is 5200€ which match your price.
3D printing is not adapted for such a big object (try laser cutting, perhaps).
Concerning your problem of dimension, please, check this post:

[EDIT] And welcome to Shapeways. I hope you will find other projects more suitable for 3D printing.]]> Magic 2011-11-28T07:48:19-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=39356&th=7246#msg_39356 If you can't post link, please send me a pm!]]> Gono 2011-11-28T09:51:31-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=39357&th=7246#msg_39357 Ponoko should ship in Europe (google it ).
