⚙️ Print Settings

🖨 Printer & Material

Silver Band Simulation:

Use metallic PLA or resin for prototyping.

For final production, print in castable resin → then cast in sterling silver.

Gold Capsule Simulation:

Print separately in gold‑colored resin/filament or cast in gold alloy.

Alternatively, dual‑extrusion printers can print silver and gold filaments together.

Gem: Insert manually after printing; design tolerances allow snap‑fit or adhesive bonding.

📐 Print Parameters

Layer Height: 0.05–0.1 mm → ensures smooth curves and fine detailing.

Infill: 20–30% for strength without excess weight.

Supports: Required under capsule overhangs; use easy‑removable supports at ~60° angles.

Shells/Perimeters: 3–4 walls for durability.

Build Orientation: Print ring flat on its side to minimize layer stress on the band.

🔧 Post‑Processing

Sand and polish to remove layer lines.

Electroplate or cast in silver and gold for authentic finish.

Secure gem with prongs or adhesive depending on design tolerance.
