Two Wolves – Set of Rings

two-wolves-set-of-rings

An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.

“It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves.

One is Evil.

He is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.

The other is Good

He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.

The same fight is going on inside you–and inside every other person, too.”

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?”

The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

My entry for the
#ANYCUBIC3D

jewellery contest! I knew from the start I wanted my design to be based on a story, so I picked the two wolves from my favorite legend and made them into ring designs. In that way, you can wear whichever wolf you feel is currently dominating the other 😉

Size evil wolf: 22.2 x 35.9 x 31.3 mm

Size good wolf: 22.2 x 36.7 x 32.4 mm

Both these rings were sized to be a ring size of 17mm. To make sure they will fit your fingers, check the ring size chart over here: https://www.goudkat.com/en_GB/c-4263018/ring-size-chart/

Then simple recalculate the sizes the rings should be:

(100 x your ring size)/17 (or the equivalent in your metrics system) = the percentage you should resize the rings to fit

This should in theory work, but pro tip: print only a little piece of the ring in different sizes to find out what fits you best before printing the complete ring. I included a little stl file of a small part of the ring to help find the right size.

I printed these on my Ender 3 with a Micro Swiss hotend in Esun Pla+ Grey. They don’t need supports, just print them as they are with their backs on the bed. Make sure to have your fan speed at its max though, otherwise your printer may struggle a bit with the overhangs. If your fans aren’t powerful enough, you can always add a little bit of support structure for the back.

My settings:

Nozzle size: 0.4

Layer height: 0.08

Initial layer: 0.16

Nozzle temperature: 205 degrees

Bed temperature: 45 degrees

Printing speed: 30 mm/s

Wall speed: 15 mm/s

Wall line count: 4

Amount of top/bottom layers: 10

Infill density: 35%
