In my Create a Simple Ring post, I walked through an easy workflow for creating a simple ring in Rhino and adding details in MeshMixer. Then I ordered my Moon Rock Ring in Raw Brass.
There is no sweeter pleasure in life than receiving a package in the mail. But trust me: It’s even better when the package contains the 3D printed manifestation of your idea.
Holding the Moon Rock Ring in my hands and seeing it shine in the real world is different than seeing it in a 3D workspace. The real thing always sparks a new wave of creativity, along with new insights into what’s possible with 3D design and printing.
This is a great way to find inspiration for designing new jewelry.
