In an earlier post I showed images of my models in 3DS Max, and some of the pipes were shown in black rather than white... apparently this was the problem with 2 of my models for printing. So I used 'edit mesh' and selected all the pipes that were showing up as black and clicked Normals: Flip. This fixed the problem and I re-uploaded and ordered the 2 models from Shapeways. Today I got an email saying they are in the process of making them now! Still hoping they will arrive in time!

This model didn't actually get an error for some reason, and will be arriving on Thursday (9th June), but I flipped the normals anyway.
