3D Bold Faced Ring

In this workshop you will create a 3D printed ring. For time's sake, we are providing a template set to choose your ring image from.

The images come from OpenClipArt.org, which makes images available through Creative Commons licensing. You will be using TinkerCad for 3D modeling, and MakerWare to set up your print.
