Quote request checklist
Everything the quote form will ask you, so nothing catches you out.

A last look at your model and drawing before you upload them.
Run it against the exported file, not what's on your screen. Most avoidable problems are caught here.
What belongs on a drawing, and what to leave to a general note.

What to have ready so the second batch matches the first.
