[@isaacpenaherrera1637]

need a video about the printing and casting, nice video

[@TommyPestolis]

Thank you so much for your blender tutorials I just got it and your tutorials have been the most helpful please make more ring/jewelry tutorials with blender thank you!!!

[@PhialoDesign]

I will, thank you so much for your kind comment!

[@iam.2022]

Hello, you are a great teacher, I love your tutorials, thank you!!!

[@PhialoDesign]

You are so welcome!

[@opusprimum7681]

Ive watched all your videos and they are great! ❤️ I was going to ask about the printing because I was curious how one would sprue this in a good way to get the metal everywhere when casting. Also, my slicer complained about the geometry and wanted to print supports on the inside of the ring I understand that you use an external party to get the wax (Shapeways?) so I'll just leave the question hanging here in case anyone else tried and succeed to print this vis a resin printer and feel like answering 😊 Thank you again for your lovely work 🙏

muy lindo..disculpa el idioma...mis respetos

[@BlenderHobbyist]

Absolutely brilliant I did not save yet 🙂🙂🙂 I forget always 😊😊😊

[@PhialoDesign]

Happy to help! :D

i just wanted to add that even if blender crashes while working on an unsafed project, i always recover the project via autosave. i never used a program that is so gentle with this. for me it seems like it is always doing an autosafe while, or just before crashing.

[@PhialoDesign]

Autosave seems almost like a magical part of Blender.

[@plumfoxcreations]

After 10 years of using Blender, I'm still amazed that it's a free software.

[@rewind8822]

Thanks for the tutorial! I'm really looking forward to making jewelry in Blender. What are your PC specs? (graphic card/processor etc)

[@PhialoDesign]

Right now I'm using a MSI GeForce GTX 1060 together with a Threadripper 1920X and 64Gigs of RAM.

[@Jebbsterino]

This is gorgeous! I wonder how long it would last if you just wore it straight out of the printer...

[@PhialoDesign]

In wax or plastic? ...probably not too long. Unless you would use a metal printing technique like SLM.

[@Delcuvette]

hello, how do you cast them in silver? PLA melt?

[@PhialoDesign]

I actually used Shapeways for printing and casting it, in the description you will find the link. But in essence, you can print it on a Formlabs printer for example, then embed this printed shape into casting sand, then pour molten silver into it...formlabs.com/materials/jewelry/ ...it is actually a simple process, but you need experience to get the result right...

[@amitsoni141]

How to output this design , process can u explain?

[@PhialoDesign]

What do you mean by output?

[@davidbohorquez]

how do you print it? it's very intersting

[@PhialoDesign]

This ring I printed with the help of Shapeways. They use a wax 3D printing process which builds the model layer by layer with some soluble helper material in between, which is later dissolved so only the wire frame is left over. Shapeways probably attaches this model to a "casting tree" together with many other models. Then this casting tree is pressed into a mold, the wax is heated and poured out. The mold is filled with the molten metal and cooled down, and then the mold is destroyed and only the metal is left over. This is the process in a nutshell. Afterwards the tree needs to be "cut down" ;) and the individual models are sewn off, sanded and polished. If you'd like to try ordering any 3D plastic or metal prints from Shapeways, feel free to use my referal code for 15% off: UG96S4 Happy Blendering!

[@TukoRamires-b3n]

How you do a size? Or this doesn’t matter for print?

[@PhialoDesign]

Hi Туко, you can check the size by selecting the model and then checking out the size in object mode in the N menu under Item -> Dimensions. When exporting, you can also readjust the final size once again.

[@TukoRamires-b3n]

@@PhialoDesign thanks!

[@Angel___00888]

That ring is horrible!

[@PhialoDesign]

Use the technique for something you like better :)
