The model wasn't built by me as a model, it was a b&w image of my design, uploaded via an easy creator which, in turn, extrudes it out. The Shapeways rep I've been working with was able to send me the STL, but wasn't able to tell me what to do to fix it. Or am I off the mark here, and repairing means making an adjustment to my 2d design?

Help, anyone. It would be much appreciated. ]]> israelu 2012-05-05T03:15:41-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=47919&th=9386#msg_47919
If it's just an extrusion lik you say, it should be very easy to fix.]]> EddieAdolf 2012-05-05T04:02:15-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=47921&th=9386#msg_47921
I'm tring to print silver. So, if I understand you correctly, wall thickness refers to extrude depth? So I could open the STL file in whichever 3D application that supports it, scale along z a bit, re-export, and upload back to Shapeways? I don't understand why the creator doesn't a depth that's workable to begin with. Strange.

Anyway, thanks again for your help]]> israelu 2012-05-05T05:03:00-00:00 http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=47941&th=9386#msg_47941 ...It maybe that you have hollow elements in your design..Silver has the lowest thickness requirements...so it maybe that you maybe that your design is hollow...uploading a picture maybe helpful..]]> skatersollie 2012-05-05T21:34:24-00:00
