Mirror polish on high detail stainless steel?

HI,

I want to print a watch case in high detail ss but am wondering if it is possible to achieve a mirror polish on the finished product…

something to this level just as an example:

Hi there,

The smoothest finish for High-Detail Stainless Steel would be the gloss option: https://i.materialise.com/en/3d-printing-materials/high-detail-stainless-steel/colors-finishes

However, due to the nature of 3D printing technology it is tricky to get a true “mirror polish” finish. Our precious metal options have a much smoother finish because they are cast. You can always take a look at them here: https://i.materialise.com/en/3d-printing-materials/metals#preciousMetals
