there is designing for 3d printing. and then there is designing for a print farm.

[gligoran]

Any idea of how you'd take advantage of your print farm, but sell items that require additional hardware (screws, nuts, bolts, etc.) and/or instructions, etc.? This is from a perspective of a seller that isn't in the US to be able to receive the printed parts and then assemble the package with the rest of the components.

Wish more people would take these things into consideration before posting their models online as well -.- hopefully with these videos they start to

how does adding fuzzy skin not add any extra cost when it takes more time to print?

[AllanBjerreAbbondio]

Ugh. I like the idea behind fuzzy skin. But I haven't seen an implementation yet that looks good on prints. I feel it makes the products look cheap. Custom texturing can be nice though.

[ethanrich-usher]

How would you go about having sections of the part that you've designed to use bridging? Would the API auto generate support for those features? Is there a logic to what is given support and what is not?

[georgepeden]

How do does the prototyping process work with your platform? I'd like to do a test run or two before lighting up my store for real paying customers.

[michawasiljew]

I'm really start to think if you really have a printing farm.

[toml]

Why do you not offer .1mm layer heights? Feel like you miss out on a lot of potential use cases. I have something I would like to farm but looks like garbagio at .2mm

[dwintster]

I have a bust I uploaded recently. I would love some input on making it better for mass production 3D printing if you have a moment.

[sherlockhomes]

So basically any characters you can't print because 90% of them need supports.
