Hi @Ava_Ironi, it really depends on the complexity of the design. Also where are you based? Adding a location to this thread will automatically notify all Hubs in your area.
Ava;
Is it going to be a one of a kind or molded for production?
One of a kind, would suggest any castable resin, production any sla with almost any resin that will with stand cold mold.
I can do it for you, as soon as tomorrow for direct casting, or molding. Also can cast in any material so none of this is a concern…
Can print and ship Tuesday the 6th.
Can print / mold by Friday the 13th
Can print / cast into Metal by Friday the 13th
Can print / mold / cast by Tuesday the 16th.

Cast in wax. I’m a jeweler that may be able to help. Mark Reyes G.G Oliverodesigns.com 1
Hi Ava,
I recommend our service Precision Wax’s Hub
regarding your measurement, if you would like to send to the caster your model, the the minimum recommending size should be 0.72
common question what costumer asking:
Before going ahead could you tell me the minimum advised thickness for printing in wax?
the casters recommend minimum 0.7mm wall thickness
I hope it will help.
kind regards,
Andrew
Use castable resin preferently or wax.
One advise, if you plan to make molds of your design, consider to thicken your piece since .15 mm is not a good idea for a mold production. Nevertheless if it is only a one time piece, you may cast it without problems. Look at the hubs near Amsterdam. Have a nice day!
Hey Marc, are you able to leave your Hub link as a contact for Ava? Thanks
I have tried to production and one off with pla, nothing compared to SLA or WAX.
Dont waste time and money doing jewelry with non castable period.
If you have time to kill, forget pla and learn to hand carve wax.

Those are some very delicate measurements. That last measurement. Can I confirm that it is .15 mm? I may be able to help if the model checks out. 1robomaker hub
I do jewelry design and am now getting into the casting process. I use a Castable resin with a Formlabs Form 1+ printer . As I’ve seen others comment, your .15mm dimension might be trouble! I’ve gone as low as .8mm so far with success. Not sure of your location Ava but you can check out my hub https://www.3dhubs.com/hartford/hubs/mmc-design
Id be happy to help if this is convenient for you.

Hello Ava,
I would recommend using the B9 creator castable resin (the red or the green).
Somethings that i know for sure about those resins 1- They can withstand up to 180 degree Celsius
2- You will be able to get the details that you are looking about easily.
