A mechanical ring that can be used for playing or you can simply wear it.

It is a small challenge to fold this ring and the folds are tiny so that you could have maybe troubles.
Nevertheless you can increase the printsize (over 100%) of the cp to ease modelling.

Step 1: What You Need:

  • A toothstick for the tiny folds
  • Printed CP
  • Glue (stick)
