Rule of Thumb

These are basic rules that apply to all categories.

1. Part Size

The constituent parts of your assembly must fit within the build volume of our 3D printers. Parts must also have a flat surface to adhere to the build plate during printing.

Part Size Bounding Box:

Height: 15"

Maximum width / depth: 13"

2.Bulb Relief Space

Our lights support LED bulbs up to 9.5W in power. Ensure heat can dissipate from the bulb by providing relief space between the bulb and the nearest surfaces made from our translucent material. This relief space should measure at least 1”.

3. Bulb Socket Accommodation

Also included in each starter kit is a self-locking socket body that fixes the bulb socket in place. Ensure that this feature is merged with your 3D model and the resulting position of the bulb is where you intended for.

4. Cable Cord Accommodation

Include >7mm diameter “tunnels” in your model for the passage of the cable cord through your design as necessary. The cable entryway leading into your design must be 6.75mm in diameter.

5. Table Metal Weight Accommodation

Your design must house a metal weight used to anchor the product and prevent it from being knocked over. This weight is pre-sourced and installed in all table products. If your concept requires counterweight you can use up to two weights stacked up or side by side in a vertical position.

6. Floor Metal Weight Accommodation

Your design must house a metal weight used to anchor the product and prevent it from being knocked over. This weight is pre-sourced and installed in all floor products. You will need a total of four metal weights (8lb) to have enough stability, depending on your design and size you can use the weights stacked up or side by side in a vertical position.

7. Wall Hook Accommodation

Your design must house a plastic hook used to anchor the product onto the wall. This hook is manufactured by Gantri and it's installed in all wall products.
