I can`t add new thread to the "3D Printing Stuff" someone can fix it for me? ;p

Today I decided to write a few words about preparing 3D models for print, because it is differs from the preparation of visualization. Here you have 9 things you must know before printing.

1. The model must have a clean grid - "watertight", the printer needs to know which faces of the model are inside and which are outside of the model.
2. Objects cannot pass through the other objects - for that use Boolean operation (union).
3. Limited print area - We can glue the parts together or prepare additional pins for interconnecting the parts.
4. Print should have a flat surface - Objects must adhere well to the table.
5. Too strongly negatively sloped faces (45 ° for the ABS, 60 ° for PLA) - printers cannot print in the air so we have to avoid this issue if we do not want "support".
6. The thickness of the walls - approx. 2 mm.
7. The smallest details are limited by width of the nozzle - remember about a scale of our 3D model.
8. Bridges - a layer of material applied in the air. From point to point 20 mm.
9. The diameter of the holes - 1 - 1.5 mm (vertical and horizontal), otherwise it can be difficult for printer to print.

I hope you underestand me. Sorry for my english
I think thats all for now by me, if something will come to my mind I will update the thread.

Someone has some tips about them?
Price, the most consistent hardwares in market
for end users, costs to print etc?

Just to report,
where i live, i've found two machines "made in Brasil".

http://www.cliever.com.br/cliever/

http://metamaquina.com.br/

This last one is a university project built using Open Hardware and Softwares. All the diagrams etc are opened.

----------

And i've found an online service where you can upload your STL file, visualize it, choose the material, calculate the costs and order it.
Do you know another ones like this?

I've opened a thread at my very old forum ( www.wings3d.com.br/forum ) (officially in portuguese): you're invited to navigate around there.
I could transpose the old posts to a new version of phBBB and all you are welcomed.
