Description

We've decided to discontinue several bracelets from our Cell Cycle collection to make way for new designs. This is one of those designs. I've uploaded it in three sizes:

small - inner diameter: 2.3in, inner circumference: 7.2in
medium - inner diameter: 2.5in, inner circumference: 7.85in
large - inner diameter: 2.7in, inner circumference: 8.5in

Inspired by the complex forms of radiolarians, where intricate pattern is integral to structure, these shapes derive from a simulation of spring meshes which form mirrored catenoid surfaces. We created interactive software to morph, twist, and subdivide each design, transforming a simple mesh to a complex patterned structure.

Instructions

3d-print it. Then wear it.

i tried with support material and it worked ok, was a complete nightmare getting it all off though, took ages.

Awesome! My wife came home with one of these last year at the ICE Winter Fair in Atlanta. She bought it from someone - hope it was you! Thanks for posting it!

Excellent! My wife loved it as her fourteenth wedding anniversary gift. :-D

The traditional gift is ivory, and since I'm not a big game poacher nor want to support those that are, this bracelet is an excellent alternative!

Thanks for sharing! :)

I printed it in ABS. It seems strong enough for occasional wear, but is there a way to strengthen it further; a coating or po
st-process‽

Could you maybe make it in a thinner one too for guys to wear. also, If some sort of color could be fit inside it that would be AWESOME

Looks great. What machine did you make it on?

We normally make them with SLS nylon, so I don't know about its strength in ABS. In the nylon they are plenty strong. ABS is supposed to be more durable, but I don't know how print quality might play into that.

tried printing this one and it turned out to be a mess, needs support but it got all tangled in with the print. these are really fantastic objects to print thanks again.
