After sizing my ring finger, I created a basic ring structure in Fusion 360 like everyone else in the class. I printed my first draft of the ring to test the size and it fit perfectly.
I knew from the beginning that I wanted to make my ring related to “The Legend of Zelda,” so I google image searched a triforce and found the image above. I first applied a single triforce stamp in Meshmixer on the ring and later added multiple triforces around all of it.
When I printed this draft, the ring was very rough on the bottom and the triforces did not come out very clear on the ring, so I tried to think of a new design. I knew that I wanted to eventually print the ring in some type of metal, so I began thinking of a way to make rings for my family. Since there are 3 parts to the triforce (power, wisdom, and courage) and there are 3 members of my family (me, my mom, and sister) I thought that it would be a neat idea to make us all a part of the triforce.
I wanted to spell out “Power” on my ring, but could not find the images that I wanted on google images. So, I decided to draw them myself with a sharpie. I added the images to my ring as well as a triforce.
I liked the design, but while I was searching for images in google, I came across the triforce names in Japanese characters. I decided to create these images with a sharpie to add with the text instead of the triforce.
POWER 
COURAGE 
WISDOM 
I later decided to include all of the Japanese characters all on one ring (for now) to get an idea of the design that I want.
The ring with the text and Japanese characters came out really well on Meshmixer. After I test printed the ring, I decided to upload my ring to Shapeways and I ordered the ring in Frosted Ultra Detail.
I am going to fix some of the designs on the ring, because they did not come out as clear as I would have hoped and I want to get everything right before ordering the ring in metal.
