  <description><![CDATA[I want to create a ring in stainless steel.  Any tips or hints?  I think I read somewhere the shrinkage is .05 on ss.  How thick and how wide does it need to be?  Is there a simple base mesh ring base out there to use.]]></description>

  <description><![CDATA[There's the, Stainless Steel <a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;www.shapeways.com/materials/stainless_steel" target="_blank">material info page</a>, and then there's the <a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;www.shapeways.com/design-rules/stainless-steel" target="_blank">SS design rules</a> with some <a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;www.shapeways.com/design-rules/stainless-steel-under-3-mm" target="_blank">SS advanced rules</a> (just in case you don't like sticking to the main rules <img src="http://www.shapeways.com/forum/images/smiley_icons/icon_wink.gif" border=0 alt="Wink">)<br />
<br />
I'm pretty sure shrinkage during the print process is taken into account so the end product is the size you specify.<br />
<br />
For your base ring structure, you could start with <a href="http&#58;&#47;&#47;www.thingiverse.com/" target="_blank">Thingiverse</a> for an open source model.<br />
