  1. The cylinder should be scaled to fit the finger it is being made for.
  2. We will use 17mm for the diameter in this example, but feel free to adjust the size to your needs.

Step 3: Basic Ring

The following information is a single lesson in a larger Tinkercad project. Check out this and more projects on Tinkercad.

  1. Scale the new cylinder to be 4mm larger than the cylinder hole.
  2. Since we used 17mm we will scale the diameter to 21mm (17mm + 4mm = 21mm).
  3. If for example your cylinder hole is 10mm, then you would need to scale to a diameter of 14mm (10mm + 4mm = 14mm)
