Best material:

PLA+ recommended for clean detail and structural rigidity.

Resin (standard or tough resin) ideal for high-detail jewelry finish and smoother surface on the top lattice structure.

Layer height:

FDM (Creality K1C): 0.12 mm for fine surface quality

0.16 mm acceptable for wearable prints

Resin: 0.03–0.05 mm layer height for maximum detail

Supports:

Yes, required.

The elevated geometric crown and braided overhang sections exceed 45° and will need supports.

Recommended: Tree supports (touching build plate) for FDM.

For resin: Light supports on inner lower lattice and underside of top structure.

Infill:

100% if wearable ring for strength

20–30% if decorative sculpture

Walls:

4 perimeters minimum for durability

Orientation:

Tilt 30–45° backward to reduce visible seam lines and improve support removal on braided strands.

Avoid printing perfectly vertical due to overhang complexity.

Scale Suggestions:

18–22 mm inner diameter → wearable ring

50–70 mm → artistic desk sculpture

90 mm → statement decorative object
