Hello, I'm designing a ring at the moment and I have already made 2 prototypes; one in plastic and another in steel. I'm going to create another steel prototype for an additional size and then I would like to print it in silver. The challenge I'm facing is knowing that when silver is polished, some material will be removed and it will change the the size of the ring. I want to be able to design the ring with that challenge in mind. Does anyone know approximately how much material (thickness) is removed when the object is printed in Premium Silver? Many Thanks!
