Hi everyone,
I just wanted to share a couple of pictures of my first creation with shapeways!
The final version is printed in silver glossy and polished.

As it was expected it wasn't possible to polish inside the small groove but I think it gives a nice texture contrast.

I have put some shot of the WSF prototype (with the gem intended for the silver ring) so you can see how good the details are in silver.

The only issue is that shapeways left some of the building support in silver. So I will have to deal with these myself

What do you think? Any ideas how to improve even more the surface finish of small silver features?
I noticed a couple of "dirt' mark on the silver ring which were easily removed by hand.

Here we go the finished ring: polished and cleaned thoroughly and set with the gem! Let me know what you think.
