Anyone else have a massive increase in broken models submitted?

The last month or two a majority of orders we’ve received contain errors in the models. It’s to the point now that we are considering cancelling all orders with broken models to save time explaining the issue to customers.

Is there a reason for this new influx of bad models? What happened to running them through netfabb?

I appreciate this isn’t a fix right now, but it’s something we’re looking to launch next quarter and working hard on with our research and development team. In the meanwhile please get in touch with support@3dhubs.com if it continues to be significant challenge for your hub.

Thanks,
