Hello, is my model printable, made of Nylon / Polyamide? https://www.shapeways.com/model/3dtools/5097925/1/62?check=11&key=784b83822f467d1002d997c2c890cf87 If the marked parts are molded together it wouldn´t be a problem for me.
No, the gap is too small. It would be no proplem for me, if the parts are not separated after printing. The question is, would it be a problem for Shapeways? Or could I say just “print it anyway“? Would there be a problem on colouring Nylon?
If it's less than the minimum, you'll have to order as print it anyway. You may have die issues, if there is trapped material inside that you free because it isn't fused. The trapped material will prevent full dye penetration.
Thank You for Your information. The “print it anyway“ option: If I would offer the model to customers, would they always have to choose this option? Is it allowed to choose this option for customers, or for the Designer only? Is there s chance to change to “accepted“ model, after a couple of “successful“ prints?
"Print it anyway" is owner-only. I guess you could try ordering it once without this option - if you have the time to spare to risk a rejection - and see if whoever does the manual check lets it pass despite the likelyhood that the parts will fuse together. If you are lucky the successful print will then make it an "accepted" model that does not have to pass the manual checks anymore until eventually some print happens to break e.g. during cleaning.
