Description

This OpenSCAD script will generate a plain wedding band style ring.
Most parameters are user selectable such as the ring profile shapes.
This would be ideal as the basis for a wedding ring...

Potentially very useful when combined with the following:
Ring metal cost calculator thingiverse.com/thing:12589
Ring Size System Coversion thingiverse.com/thing:12689
for creating and costing a custom wedding band or other such tomfoolery.
