THE 3DWAXMILLER CLUB.

thanks ...it turned out really nice!

finished!

hey thanks colin...done on the 40 ....also I discoverd a design mistake .... the 1st one was uneven and thicker in the areas I marked... notice the wax (first post) and how the corrected version should look!....also shown with the stones 'set' and beaded over

here's one, her design ...her stones ( her stones are not in the picture just set some in to show)

did you notice the smaller version of the 'giant' ring on the table?

what you don't like the giant ring
I had another jeweler wanting me to make him one for his store
looks good in the window! also the giant gems are fun! if you want to make one just copy the pattern and blow it up to whatever size you want then cut and fold!

I have mdx40 not the 540 ...anyway the mdx40 over the jwx10 the 40 has more working room however if I had to do it over again I probably would buy an open mill.... as the mdx40 is enclosed (so is the jwx10 only smaller area!)... it's harder to work in an enclosed area but I did get my 40 at half pri...

In addition to the above post when buying gold you get alot of pieces that still have alot of life left in them some are practically new so I have to cases of pre owned jewelry I sell them for just a little over my gold melt price no charge for the stones unless there bigger then I ask a little more...

rarely do I make anything for real customers in my store not too many people buying around here (or anywhere?) I mostly run a one man shop doing all the work so maybe I don't 'talk it up' enough only because I know I'll have to be the one to do it all ...along with everything else, but once in awhil...

I have plenty of gold to use but I don't like wasting it on hopes that I'll sell the pieces... not too many 'buying' customers around here ....I was thinking fashion fad type stuff?... also plastic could keep the retail cost down... that is untill you add my designer name to the product :lol: :lol: ...

another style colored, frosted, and clear...

possibly ....turns out that joston class ring co.has a factory apx 1hr away from me ... they contacted me then came out to my store wanting to learn how to use the mdx40 and softwares they just bought..I'll be going out to the factory in a week or two to see their operation first hand ... plant mana...

I actually like the concept and the look! ....I think you'd have to mill the model(s) sz 6-9 plus 1/2 sizes, mold it, then plastic resin cast it.... or send it out for plastic injection.... who knows maybe my next project?

save gold this way..

I was just thinking to say sorry we took over your post that sometimes happens when me and ken get going on a topic ...anyway nice start and at least you made some$$$... work with 3dengrave and figure it out as there's alot you can do with it and when you feel you may want more look into rhino or on...
