Assistance silver bracelet

#1

Hi I’m new into 3d printing and am having some doubts about the results that I could get from the production process of a bracelet.
I’m attaching some visuals of what I want it to look like.
My main question is with the production of the loop. I am having doubts regarding how much the loop can be curved on the bottom side, without breaking when it has to be slightly bent around the wrist so that it fits snug with it. I am considering a thickness of between 1.5 and 2 mm for this looped element. Is it possible to provide any insight into the stiffness / bending ability of the silver cast for such thickness?
My other question is regarding the circular elements with the letters. They are about 8 mm in diameter. Since I want the object to be in high gloss silver finish, what can you recommend should be the minimum distance between the holes for the connecting rings and the edge of the circle, and likewise between the holes and the engraved text? I don’t want it to look like a mess after the intense polishing takes place. Everything should be easily readable and well spaced out.

I hope the questions are more or less clear.
Many thanks in advance.

Hello James,

Thanks for the information.
Could you please let me know if the model should be one piece? All circles should be connected to each other? As I see on render , all of these elements are separate at the moment.

Also could you please let me know what would be the dimensions of the whole bracellet?

Thank you!

Best Regards,
Olga

The idea is for the pieces to be separate and to be connected by metal loops (like in a typical metal chain) which I can buy myself at some local store. This is why I made the holes at the border of the pieces, so that circular loops can be put inside and then squeezed gently with some pliers so that they don’t fall out.

The dimensions of the bracelet would be about 55 mm long, 35 mm in height, and 10 mm wide. (2 mm wide for the loop section if that is possible)

I hope this helps.

Thanks,
James
