Hollowing is probably an option for the larger section of the model although I do worry about it being too brittle if it's hollow.

Also, somewhat off-topic, if my model has a multi-sub material applied to it with standard materials assigned to polygon material IDs will the diffuse colors be "printed" if I select full color sandstone? None of the materials are bitmaps or anything. They are all just standard materials with the different diffuse colors. (I'm using 3ds Max).

I have no idea about your other question ]]> Youknowwho4eva 2011-12-01T20:36:04-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=39711&th=7309#msg_39711 Youknowwho4eva wrote on Thu, 01 December 2011 20:36
the walls should be at least 3mm


With the recent improvements to sandstone.. the limit was lowered.. you can now make walls down to 2mm. During the testing phase, they actually printed a model for me with only 1mm walls and it was quite durable, but the new 2mm is easier for them to clean without breaking.]]> stonysmith 2011-12-02T03:44:39-00:00
