Sizing rings has always been tricky. Well, not anymore!
I've developed TWO different methods of resizing rings in 1 tool called RING SCALER and its designed to do the hard work for you

METHOD 1 – Scale to size
Simply select your ring size from the presets or enter it manually, and the software will automatically adjust the scale so the ring opening matches your desired size.
From there, you can:
Save the resized model as an STL file.
Get the scaling percentage if your ring consists of multiple parts, so you can apply the exact same new scale to all of them in your slicer and print everything together.
Easy!
METHOD 2 – Resize the opening only
And I'm particularly proud of this one!
I've been scratching my head for quite some time, trying to figure out how to make this work. Now that I've finally managed to pull it off, I'm genuinely very happy with the result!
Instead of scaling the entire ring, the software repositions and rebuilds the ring opening, allowing you to enter your desired finger size or select it from a preset.
The best part?
The rest of the ring stays exactly the same. Only the inner opening changes!
I've tested this method on my own rings, and it works surprisingly well.
I haven't had the chance to test it on other people's models yet, simply because I can't know how their geometry and topology were constructed.
There is one important requirement: the ring needs to have flat sides, so the software can identify where the opening should be closed and rebuilt. Down the line i might upgrade that as well when i see where the limits are :)
Not sure what your ring size is?
No worries! I've also included a ring size chart and finger measurement tools to help you figure that out.
Two methods, two different approaches, and hopefully a lot less headache when it comes to resizing rings! 😁
