D. Parameters - print design guide
Wall thickness
The 3D model's wall must be thick enough to support the model.
We recommend working with 0.8 [mm] for larger objects, in smaller
objects you can have a lower wall thickness of 0.4 [mm].
Embossed and engraved details - minimum detail size
Selective Laser Sintering is one of the 3D Printing processes with
the highest accuracy; up to 0.1 [mm] is enough to create clearly
visible details. If you plan to put some embossed and engraved
DETAILS, we recommend adding the minimum thickness of 0.15
[mm] and depth of 0.15 [mm].
Embossed and engraved text
If you plan to put some TEXT embossed we recommend adding a
minimum line thickness of 0.5-0.6 [mm] and a depth of 0.5 [mm].
Use a bold sans-serif font for readability, such as Arial Bold f.ex.
Minimum feature size
The minimum feature size for printing with SLS is 1 [mm]. If your
feature is a thin wire connected on both sides, you can go slightly
thinner to 0.5 [mm], otherwise, we recommend at least 0.8 [mm]
thickness.
Functional gap - moving or interlocking parts
A powerful feature of SLS is that you can print moving parts in one
go. You should keep at least 0.2 [mm] clearance between
elements. We recommend keeping at least 0.5 [mm] if you are a
beginning user.
