After making some versions of the original heart charm, it was time to see whether I could get my hands on a more permanent print. This model was printed for me. I simplified the model due to the resolution of the selective laser melting (SLM) machine. I am actually impressed with the resolution they were able to produce. the size was still slightly to big. if reprinted I would shrink it some 20-25% to be similar to other charms on the bracelet of my girlfriend. Maybe if I can find the time I will invest some time in trying to polish the metal, since the printing lines are quite visible and a shiny finish might be prettier. Definitely a succes!
