Before approving objects we want to make sure that your object will be printable. The best way to prove this is by submitting a picture of your object 3D printed. Your pictures will then go through our community to make sure that those are indeed pictures of print rather than 3D renders.

We check the uploaded files from printability. Our software checks a few criteria and it might fail for those reasons:
1. Presence of degenerated faces
2. Presence of duplicated faces
3. Mesh is not manifold
4. The normals are not consistent
5. The volume is less than 0
6. Some faces are intersecting each other
You can check what is wrong with your mesh using this little online tool.

Add-ons are extra files that are released by designers related to the specific campaign. Some are already available for purchase and others are already included in the previous defined pledge levels; meaning if they are part of our current pledge level it will show “You own this”. If you do not own the Add-on it will display “Buy” and will be able to download it by clicking “See items”.

If you didn’t get the file after a pledge, then the file might be being prepared by the designer; We will have a post on our Community Blog, also send a notification to you when the file is ready.
