I recieved an email from Shapeways a few days ago regarding the prototype.

Long story short, the opening to the pendant was warped during the printing process, and a reprint has been requested. Shapeways say that it will be shipped within two weeks (There's a BFL joke somewhere here), so I'm afraid we're going to have to wait just a little bit longer.

Here's an image of the issue:



Did you ever get this sorted out?  Shapeways uses ExOne's process for their metals (almost exclusively, even) and sometimes the sintering and infiltration steps involve some distortion. 

It looks to me like we could hide an NFC sticker into a print like that.  (I know you said you didn't want it in plastic)
