Hi Max,

Are you aware of any online places I can look for  open source 3D printers are able to print metal jewellery with very fine detail? Not microscopic like this stellar example you shared though.

Warm regards,

Krister

Not that I know of unfortunately. 

There are a few people working on larger metal printers though.

From what I've heard , the current options are printing with filament that burns out of investment casting with very little ash or wax based filament, then having a foundry cast it for you or casting it yourself. 

Or virtual foundry who sell metal rich filament that gets baked and then sintered.

Hi Max,

Thank you. That’s helpful. It’ll come to me how to go about this when to the manufacturing stage of my jewellery project.

What do you do with 3D printing tech, or why the awesome fascination? 

Warm regards,

Krister
