You can also print the image onto PnP, using a laser printer, and transfer it onto silver sheet as a resist for etching. Dennis.

This is a link to the .STL file if you want it to print and cast it
i’ve created this sort of thing at home quite easily although the process is quite long.
this is how I go about it.
I laserprint my design onto either photo gloss paper or greaseproof paper then heat transfer this onto a copper disk as a resist for etching with salty water and 6V electricity.
with a bit of trial and error my etchings have come out very sharp and quite deep, perfect to use as a pattern for a delft clay casting into coin sized pendants using silver or bronze.
when etching i use a fish tank bubbler to agitate the water this seems to help with a very even finish.
when casting coin shaped pieces I always use a mould in the vertical position. I made a short video on this casting.
