964 Con rod replica

I wanted to share with you guys a project I'm currently trying to get off the ground. I've started to design some Vintage Automotive Inspired Goods like wallets and keychains.
Along with those I've been trying to make a 964 Con-rod replica bracelet [charm]
Huge thanks to Ben006 for his help when i ran into some problems and for also designing the 991 Con-rod replica.

Here's some pics:

This is the wax model


Here's the first casting:


Let me know what you think.

I have a Titanium connecting rod from the 917K that won Le Mans in 1970. Now that would make a great piece of jewelry

I'm not sure, for this particular piece I decided to go use a local jeweler and I'm not sure which printer they use
