Help with purchase decision
I am considering the purchase of an SL1 machine but before committing to the purchase I wish to find out if an SL1 owner would be willing to do a test print for me from an STL file? My models are all miniature ships to a scale of 1/1250 and in order to achive a more realistic representation of certain features ( deck overhangs for instance) some of the wall thicknesses are in the region of 0.2 mm.
I have resorted to 2 part models in order to achieve this through shapeways but laterly the models have been rejected.
Another problem is the curvature of the hulls, which to look realistic need a layer thickness as thin as possible. I believe the SL1 can achieve this and also the layer can be varied to allow for areas that don't require such a fine layer.
I've attached a link to the model in question and if anyone was willing to take on the task I'd be more than willing to pay for materials, time etc.

Hi Gary,
is there a way to export STL's from the model picture?

Yes I can send an STL file. The 3d model is in Autodesk Fusion 360 .
