Wow you got the shapeways 3652 that clean, looks like normal ss Image
It took some time to shape it and remove traces from printing, also risky on CG hole. Top and bottom walls are too thin and need to be gentle with shaping/sanding/polishing.

Beside this you need all other parts and works to add/do.

Brass crown tube (soldered), crownguard lever with pin was hand made.
Crownguard holes drilled and tapped.
Lugs holes drilled and 1.8mm lugs soldered.
Movement holder fixing pin made and soldered to drilled hole in the case.
Bezel, plexi, movement holder, caseback, lead gaskets all made by me

Thanks Denis,
This is a low budget and very easy to build B-Uhr.
All parts are from eBay except the leather strap.
It’s 45mm without crown.

The only that I had to wait and then change were the hands.
See below:

I‘ll send you the eBay links via pm.
