CAD Challenge- RINGS

CAD CHALLENGE- TO DESIGN A RING THAT FITS ONE OF YOUR FINGERS!! 

First, make a simple one with embedded letter holes ... then we are trying to make a bigger one that still fits.

Tinkercad ring sizes are based on millimeter (mm) diameters, so precise measurements are required for 3D modeling. Common practice involves using a cylinder with a diameter matching your size (e.g., 18-20 mm for average rings), and using a torus on the outside for curved edges. THINK CHONKY

Key Tinkercad Ring Sizing Tips:

• Measurement: Use an inner diameter in millimeters (mm) for the cylinder that will become your hole.
• Ring Component: Use the "Torus" basic shape, setting the diameter to the desired finger size, plus wall thickness. Make sure you make it thick enough and tall enough for your letters to be BOLD.

Sizing Table:

• Size 6: 16.5 mm
• Size 6.5: 16.9 mm
• Size 7: 17.3 mm
• Size 7.5: 17.7 mm
• Size 8: 18.1 mm 
• Size 8.5: 18.5 mm
• Size 9: 18.9 mm
• Size 9.5: 19.3 mm or 19.4 mm
• Size 10: 19.8 mm
• Size 10.5: 20.2 mm
• Size 11: 20.6 mm
• 
  
• Size 14: 22.9 mm

3d printed Ring Sizes on Thingiverse- I have printed these and have them on my desk, so you know what size ring a certain finger wears.

Designing the Ring:

1. Drag a cylinder (set as a "hole") to the desired diameter.
2. Add a torus (solid) with a 2-3mm larger diameter to create the ring thickness.
3. Use the "Align" tool to center both shapes.
4. Group the objects to create the final, sized ring.
5. Export as .STL for printing. (and drag into the BARBERTECHNOLOGYFOLDER.

After you resize the torus, you would need to align them.
