About Silver 3D Printing- 3D Printing Material
Sterling Silver (92.5% silver) is a high quality silver alloy commonly used in jewelry and other skin-safe applications. With several finishing options and the ability to showcase intricate details, 3D printing Silver offers a professional, finished look and feel. 3D printed Silver will tarnish over time, but can be polished to achieve a like-new surface. This material is a softer metal that will be more malleable with thin features.
Color & Finishes
3D print Silver with light polishing for a somewhat rough surface with a matte finish.
3D print Silver for a hand-polished finish, and a smooth, shiny surface. (Internal detail can not be polished, well-reachable surfaces will be polished therefore tight internal spaces may remain unpolished.)
Extensive polishing of 3D printed Silver will reach intricate details, achieving a very shiny surface. Extra polishing will remove more material so some details may be lost in the process. (Internal detail can not be polished, well-reachable surfaces will be polished therefore tight internal spaces may remain unpolished.)
Recessed details are blackened to achieve a steampunk look.
Polished Silver with 2.5 micron 18K Yellow Gold Plating.

Design Guidelines
Bounding Box
Bounding Box Max
89 × 89 × 100 mm
75 × 75 × 40 mm for Interlocking Parts
Bounding Box Min
2.4 × 2.4 × 0.6 mm
The bounding box is a 3D imaginary outline of a box that encloses the smallest area occupied by your model. Your model must be within the minimum and maximum bounding box sizes. If the size of the model is close to the maximum bounding box, then the printing orientation will be restricted.
Walls
0.8 mm (Polished, Fine Detail Polished, Antique)
0.8 mm (Polished, Fine Detail Polished, Antique)
Wires
1.5 mm (for Interlocking Parts)
1.5 mm (for Interlocking Parts)
Details
0.4 mm high & wide (Fine Detail Polished)
0.35 mm high & wide (Fine Detail Polished)
Escape Holes
Clearance
1.0 mm (for Interlocking Parts)
Interlocking & Enclosed Parts
Interlocking
Yes, up to six for Natural and Polished finishes. Interlocking parts are not supported for Antique and Fine Detail Polished finishes such as 3D printed Silver.
Enclosed
No
Parts in File
Max
Up to two identical 3D printed silver parts (like earrings or cufflinks) may be uploaded in the same model file. We cannot accept multiple, unique, non-interlocking parts ordered in the same model file; there should be one file for each unique part. Also, we cannot accept sprued parts as this creates problems during the casting process.
