3 Rings
This project involved designing three rings (smallest fit, perfect fit, largest fit) and producing them using 3D printed materials.The process first involved casting my finger and producing a positive mould. This was then sliced and scanned into the PC to create an accurate digital model of my finger.
Smallest Fit – uses a clip mechanism with custom spring to create a ring with the smallest fit.
Perfect Fit – uses a 3D printed rubber band to hold small individually shaped resin scales against the finger to create the perfect fit.
Largest Fit – uses a set of three interlinked rings that are aligned in a particular way to allow removal of the ring. The small ball joints can move freely within each ring creating angular shapes to prevent the ring fitting over the knuckle.
