Modeling parts that actually print
Tolerances, wall thickness, and designing around supports.

A model that looks perfect on screen can still fail on the bed. Good print design respects a few physical realities: minimum wall thickness, clearance between moving parts, and overhang angles that need support.
Design with the print orientation in mind. Layer lines are weakest between layers, so orient stress along the layers, not across them.
Bring us a rough model and we will flag what needs adjusting before it wastes a print. Or skip it entirely and let us model it for you.
