The minimum detail sizes are the recommended dimensions of details that are to be printed connected to a surface of a model. Printing smaller details than the recommended values can lead to building or processing problems, meaning that the features might not be implemented.
Small details will be detected by our online ordering system and generate a warning message. To continue ordering with the uploaded model, you can check a box. Please note that when you order parts with smaller detail sizes than the recommended values, you acknowledge the risk of details not being implemented as desired and we cannot offer remakes or refunds.
