Thanks so much for your info. It is really helpful. I have been having my models made in what ShapeWays calls White, strong, and flexible or PA2200. I have considered using their White Detail, but the cost is about twice as much and they say it has less strength. I was concerned about the top loop where the cord is attached, so I worried about strength. I find the poured resin I am using is quite strong and since I am making copies of my pendants, strength of the model is probably not a major factor. As I said, since the pendants I am doing now are meant to represent wood or stone a little roughness is not a big problem. But, I might get to a point where I require a smoother finish and wish I had started out right in the first place ....I sencond VampiressRN in her appreciation of you thread ... Pleas keep it up ....
