I wanted to do something special as a graduation gift for my girlfriend. After giving it some thought I decided to design her a ring. After discretely measuring her finger, I took the Logo that she made for herself and put it into Rhino. After making minor tweaks I had the finished file done. I tried to do test prints with the Makerbot, however the size of the ring and the small details failed every time. Eventually I sent the rings off to be printed with the precious metal options from Shapeways, I couple weeks later I received them in the mail, and they looked better than I could have imagined.
