The Ring-A-Thing is an adaptable ring-building kit that allows users to assemble a customizable ring by inserting a small cube magnet into the base and attaching a washer to the bottom of each design. This versatile design enables users to easily switch out designs on their printed ring as needed. Parametric in nature, The Ring-A-Thing's code adjusts automatically to finger diameter in millimeters, eliminating the need for designers to scale up or down depending on the ring size. However, the developers still face a challenge in stabilizing the diameter of the inset design on top of the ring across all sizes, resulting in potential design inconsistencies. Moving forward, creators are exploring more effective ways to attach designs, aiming to accommodate smaller ring sizes and resolve the magnetic fit issue currently presented by 3mm magnets. When completed, The Ring-A-Thing project promises to empower designers with the ability to craft unique and personalized jewelry pieces through an intuitive, six-step process: 1. Open the provided OpenSCAD file for customization. Simply enter your finger's diameter in millimeters, including a one-millimeter buffer for clearance. Rendering and exporting the STL file completes the first step. 2. Press-fit a 3mm magnet into its corresponding hole within the ring structure. Secure the magnet with care to avoid damage or shifting. 3. Proceed to design and print your personalized disc(s). Take note that multiple discs can be used in a single ring for added customization. 4. Glue your custom-designed disc onto a matching washer, securing it firmly for stability. 5. Carefully place the printed disc into its designated slot within the ring. Upon completion of this step, your Ring-A-Thing should securely lock into position. 6. Desire to switch designs? No problem! Utilizing a small screwdriver, gently pry one side of the current design loose and replace it with a fresh disc, allowing users endless combinations and limitless self-expression through personalization. 7. Experience the satisfaction of showcasing your own uniquely designed Ring-A-Thing – the ultimate statement piece crafted just for you!
