Hi :) given that the resin for SLA printing is pretty toxic, would you say that a ring, which is made with this material is save to wear (after washing and curing)? |

Ideally, for jewelry, you'd use the print as a base layer that's then plated or as a positive for a mold. There are some biocompatible resins but you're still making assumptions and compromises with it. Especially for a ring, any finishing layers will wear off directly on the skin so you'd have to account for that. Highly recommend using the print to make a silicone mold that you can then make an epoxy copy of it. Or a wax copy to then create a metal copy Multiple steps, I know, but for safe jewelry, printers are better as a starting point tool instead of a finished product generator |

Once the resin is cured it's way less toxic. A ring is pretty small and as long as you don't swallow it you're fine. |

There is shops that can cast a ring based on your design. You either send the 3D model, the resin ring you printed and the make a mold from it or the wax part. This is more the road I would go towards. You can design your ring, maybe print it and try it on for a bit to make sure it's the right size, iterate of necessary and then have it casted for you. |

oh ok, that (and the subcomment to this one) sounds like a solid way to go. |

Uv cured resin is used in dentistry. I would assume it's safe once cured. |
