4 Gage Ear Rings (Tube, Coffin, Skull)

pinshape

I was browsing some new earrings and thought, "Why not design and print some?" So I did just that! These are a few of the 4 Gage earrings that I designed so far. I printed them in ABS because I wanted strong plastic, something easy to clean with soap and water or rubbing alcohol. I designed them with a depression so that a small O ring could be slipped on to keep them from falling out (mine stay in without them). I've worn one of them for a month now with no irritation or problems, taking it out once a week to clean it. I have printed 2 of the three earrings left to print (printing a skull design tonight), and I'll add a picture tomorrow. Yes, the Skull STL file is large, but I wanted the best detail possible. I hope you like them; if you do, hit the LIKE button and also hit the MAKE button to share your own picture! Printer: FlashForge Creator Pro Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .20 Infill: 100% Notes: I printed them with supports and directly on my glass bed. The Skull STL file is large, but I wanted the best detail possible. After printing, the tube may need cleaning out of its center if your printer leaves residue inside. Any rough edges on the stem should be hit with 320 grit sandpaper to make it easier on the ear lobes. If you do this, make sure to wipe it down with rubbing alcohol to get rid of the plastic dust before putting it in your ear.
