Hey Romy,
I strongly recommend 3-d printing them in plastic then using that
plastic part as a pattern for conventional sandcasting techniques to
create a metal version of the part. I use the same style of casting
flask as shown in this tutorial:

I've done a few coin/paperweight type things this way using a
bismuth-tin alloy which is nontoxic. Probably best results if you leave
the holes closed on the pattern and drill them out.
Cheers,
Hol

but I got a really beautiful Armani , casual jacket for $20. I can post
photos, but I need very specific buttons because the Taylor won’t fix
it without the buttons and they have the Armani logo on them. Has
anyone tried doing 3-D printing or something for these kinds of
situations? I know buttons have to be a lot more strong than Most, but
it is possible to print metal now
