How thin can a shim be printed?

Tell us the thickness you need and we say plainly if it is too thin to print reliably.

Can a spacer have a bore that is not centered?

Yes. Tell us the offset and we plan the part around it.

What is the difference between a spacer and a bushing?

A spacer is usually a plain ring. A bushing sits inside a bore to reduce play or wear between two parts. Tell us the job and we plan the right shape.
