Beautiful Silver Cufflinks

  1. I'm very pleased with these.
    The Shapeways pixies have done a really great job.
    They turned out every bit as pretty as they looked in my renders.

    Pixel size it is 1.2 mm ?

    They look fantastic!
     
  3. Thanks Numarul7

    I had to make a custom font to get the letters to fit without making the whole thing too big.
    It took me a while to get the balance right.

    The individual dots are 0.6mm which is why they had to be done in silver.
    I made the cufflink body hollow to emphasise the dots. They go right through the top.

    Beautiful!

    I see the inside seems to be polished, am I right? But I thought Shapeways says it cannot be done. Is it done by yourself?

    Look again you will see that it is a texture inside , that means it is not polished inside!

  10. Thanks Rob,

    Finally someone who likes my "hilarious" HTML joke ;-)
    "<body>" tags that go either side of your actual body.

    because who doesn't want their shirt to be w3c compliant...
