Remember to make the most of the 3D printer’s capabilities – sub-millimetre detail, accurate surface finish; even moving parts are possible. Just remember to make sure your design will work in the real world, for example:

Will the model be able to support its own weight?


Make sure all parts of the model connect - otherwise your print will fall apart!


Think about the strength of small cross sections


Allow a small tolerance if you are designing moving or tight fitting parts

Try and avoid holes and intersections in the mesh


Remember, very small details cannot be guaranteed to reproduce correctly


Max volume of single 3d print 298 x 185 x 203mm


Hollow out large volumes to save material and therefore money...
