Curvy lowercase m pendant — 10 mm, centered rear loop

UPDATED 2026-10-27 — FULLER, MORE DYNAMIC STROKES

Based on feedback from the previous physical print, the letter now has broader arch shoulders and droplet ends with smooth tapers into narrower stems. Designed stroke widths range from 1.13 to 2.27 mm (about 2:1 contrast), versus 1.03 to 1.64 mm before. Even the narrowest sections are about 10% thicker. Height remains 10 mm and the centered rear loop retains its 1.5 mm opening.

Use the unprefixed curvy-m-10mm STL or 3MF for this latest revision. Files prefixed legacy-slim-1p5mm-loop preserve the previous printed version; legacy-2p5mm-loop files preserve the original larger-loop version. Earlier gallery renders show those previous versions.

DIMENSIONS

Letter height: 10.00 mm

Overall width: 12.85 mm

Overall depth including rear loop: 4.80 mm

Maximum letter body depth: 1.91 mm

Designed stroke widths: 1.13–2.27 mm

Minimum designed body depth: 0.95 mm

Clear loop opening: 1.50 mm

Loop wire diameter: 1.10 mm

Loop outside diameter: 3.70 mm

Stroke dimensions describe swept sections, excluding rounded endcap tips and overlapping joins. The loop joins the back of the middle stem, centered horizontally and perpendicular to the letter. The chain passes left-to-right. Letter and loop form one connected solid. Images are renders of the digital mesh. Built procedurally with AI assistance from a visual reference.

FILES AND PRINTING

Use 3MF for explicit millimetre units, or import STL in millimetres at 100% scale. Both contain the full-resolution manufacturing mesh. Source, dependencies and casting notes are included. The generator writes files into a pendant-output-dynamic-strokes subfolder.

Intended for resin/wax patterns and lost-wax casting in sterling silver. No supports, sprue or shrinkage allowance are included. The casting house should select accepted casting material, orientation, supports, sprue placement and finishing/shrinkage compensation. Ordinary prototype resin is not automatically suitable for casting.

The 10 mm height is the digital pattern size; finished dimensions depend on casting and polishing. A clasp or end fitting must pass through the 1.5 mm opening for direct threading; otherwise use a suitable jump ring. Chain and jump ring are not included. Uniform scaling changes the loop and all thin sections.

VALIDATION

STL and 3MF passed digital checks for watertightness, consistent winding, positive volume, one connected solid and one through-hole. The aperture measured 1.500 mm through the loop center. The previous 1.5 mm loop version was printed by the owner; this fuller revision has not yet been physically printed or cast.
