    1. each part that is to be printed as one object needs to be solid, not parts crashed together

    2. the company can clean it up but I believe you will find a fee charged for service rendered…

    (“.stl” is the file format that most softwares (slicers) use, so if you can check out that file format and what is needed to make a clean one…)

    3. got no recommendations as to whether shapeway is available to you there…

    4. tell them high quality (smooth and detailed) is priority, they will in turn tell you what that will cost…

    5. size is a limitation as different machines have different printable areas, but shouldn’t be much of a limitation to pro print service…

    6. color is a limitation as many printers can only use one filament at a time, so if it needs to be specific color and such…

    just started playing with 3D print myself so the above is from general knowledge of learning the process

    hope this helps…
