2. Features require the minimum thickness indicated by the color below:

minimum thickness = 0.026 in

An updated file will be needed to make this part.

Moldability Advisory

The following illustrations indicate part design considerations for optimal performance in the injection molding process.

2. If you require a textured finish on your part: PM-T1 (light bead blast texture) requires at least 3 degrees of draft, and PM-T2 (medium bead blast texture) requires at least 5 degrees of draft. Faces colored red have a draft of less than 3 degrees, and faces colored yellow have a draft of 3-5 degrees. Additional draft will need to be added to these faces in order to accommodate your texture choice.

Notes

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the properties and performance of the resin selected meet the requirements of their application.
There is no provision within the Protomold process to make the tool "steel safe." Since dimensional tolerances are highly dependent on the material selected and on the part design, we are not able to guarantee that a specific tolerance will be met.
A-side shown in green. B-side (ejection side) shown in blue.

The expected tolerance in a well designed part in ABS, Black (Lustran 433-904000) is +/- (0.003 in + 0.002 in/in).

Terms and Conditions - ProtoQuote

Seller. As used herein, "Seller" means Proto Labs, Inc. (including its First Cut and its Protomold Services), a Minnesota corporation.

Quotations. A quotation is an offer to sell, is valid only for the 3D CAD model on which it was based, and is subject to these terms and conditions, all of which are deemed incorporated therein. Any change to the 3D CAD model requires an updated quotation. Quotations are valid for 30 days, after which pricing may change without notice.

Offer and Acceptance. This document from Seller, together with a valid quotation, contains the entire terms and conditions associated with this transaction. The buyer may accept a quotation by issuing a purchase order or other writing expressing its intention to be bound, or in any other manner acceptable to Seller. Any terms, conditions or writing within such a purchase order or writing addressing the subject matter of this transaction, shall be for the buyer's internal purposes only and the terms and conditions contained therein shall have no force or effect. Seller objects to any different or additional terms or conditions contained in any request for quotation, purchase order or other writing or document of the buyer, and no such different or additional terms shall be effective or binding upon Seller unless agreed to in writing and signed by an officer of Seller.

Delivery; Title; Risk of Loss. Premium delivery options are subject to review at the time of order. All parts are shipped FCA (Incoterms 2000) at Seller's facilities in Maple Plain, Minnesota. Title passes to the buyer at the time and place of delivery to the carrier.

Taxes, Duties, Etc. The buyer shall pay all duties and sales, excise, use or other taxes arising in connection with this transaction (other than taxes based solely on Seller's taxable income).

Warranties. Seller assumes no responsibility for the design of the goods that are the subject of this transaction. To the extent that Seller's personnel recommend design modifications or provide design analysis, simulation or advice, they do so to help meet the requirements of Seller's own manufacturing process. The buyer retains sole legal responsibility for the design specifications and performance of the goods that are the subject of this transaction.

SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OF ANY KIND WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO ANY GOODS OR SERVICES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller assumes no responsibility or liability for the selection of any materials for the goods that are the subject of this transaction. The buyer is solely responsible for ensuring that materials selected for goods to be manufactured by Seller meet any regulatory requirements or specifications including but not limited to Directive 2002/95/EC on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS Directive) together with any national legislation implementing such Directive, ISO, FDA, UL, CSA, CE, TUV, FCC, NSF, and USP. Any statements made by Seller personnel or specifications provided by Seller regarding materials should be verified by the buyer with the manufacturer of that material.

LIMITATION OF DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF ANY WARRANTY, FOR BREACH OR REPUDIATION OF ANY OTHER TERM OR CONDITION, FOR NEGLIGENCE, ON THE BASIS OF STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE.

Indemnification. The buyer shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Seller (and its employees, representatives and agents) from and against all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, fines and sanctions of any kind (including, without limitation, interest, attorneys' fees and expenses, customs duties, fines, taxes, penalties or any other governmental sanctions of any kind) (i) resulting from or arising out of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the buyer or its affiliates hereunder; (ii) if the buyer has supplied Seller with drawings, designs or other specifications for the goods or services, arising out of any assertion that any goods manufactured by Seller (or the act of manufacturing such goods) according to those drawings, designs or other specifications infringe or misappropriate any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right; (iii) otherwise arising out of or related to this transaction. It is specifically understood that the buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller and hold Seller harmless from claims that Seller was itself negligent or otherwise at fault. If any action, suit or proceeding is commenced, or any claim, demand or assessment asserted against Seller (or its employees, representatives or agents) which may result in liability with respect to which a party seeks indemnification, then the party shall notify the buyer promptly and the buyer shall have the right at its own expense to assume the entire control of the defense, compromise or settlement. Upon the buyer's request and at the buyer's expense, Seller shall cooperate fully in such defense and make available to the buyer all relevant information under its control.

Force Majeure. Seller shall not be liable for any failure to manufacture, deliver or provide, or for any delay in the manufacture, delivery or provision of, any goods to be provided hereunder if such failure or delay is caused by acts of God, fire, storm, strikes, blackouts, labor difficulties, riots, inability to obtain materials, equipment, labor or transportation, governmental restrictions, serious public health nuisance or any similar cause over which Seller is unable to exercise control.

Tooling. Due to the proprietary nature of Seller's process, all Tooling is proprietary and is generally not compatible with or transferable to other equipment. Notwithstanding any tooling or engineering charges imposed by Seller, all such Tooling shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of Seller.
