I love animal prints so I decided to make zebra earrings with a lot of diamonds.

Tutorial

I made a circle with a radius of 30 mm. (Sketch > Circle)

Here I offset the circle ( Sketch > Offset) and sketched some zebra lines ( Sketch > Spline)

I made a circle for the hole so the ear hanger can go in.

I extruded the earring with 8 mm.

On the side of the earring I sketched a circle for the diamonds to be inserted.

I extruded the circle so it is now a new body that we can use for multiplying the circle for the entire earring. I moved the extruded circle with -1mm inside the earring. Later on I combined the extruded circle with the earring using operation Cut and keeping the tool.

To multiply the circle or making a pattern around the hole earring, I clicked on Create > Pattern > Circular pattern.

Now I need to remove those bodies that you see around the earring. First I combined the bodies and used the same operation, operation Cut. This time I did not keep the tools because I don't need them anymore.

Because I want the middle part to be white, I need to slice the earring in three. I sketched 2 horizontal lines.

Now we see three parts but they are still connected. In order to get three separate parts, I need to split the body. (Modify > Split Body).

Screen Shot 2017-11-15 at 14.00.55.png

On the left you see now three bodies: Zebra1, Zebra2 and Middle. So splitting the body succeeded. I clicked on Zebra1 and Zebra2 to hide them in order for me to see body Middle. The middle one needs to be fully extruded.

Now the earring is ready.

Printing the earrings

It failed in the beginning and somewhere in the middle of the process. My 3D printer didn't want to cooperate with me. It took me another 2 hours on top till I got the satisfying result.

Total printing time: 3 hours 6 minutes
Filament used: 10 meter 48 cm
Total weight: 33 gram

I glues all the pieces together with superglue and attached the 60 diamonds in the holes.

After the glue dried I attached the ear hangers.

Result

Your zebra diamond earrings are so beautiful @fathin-shihab.

zebra diamonds r cool.year end special!!!

good topic
good aidea

wow ! that's it awesome art photo. your looking is very nice. really i like your 3D Zebra Diamond earrings.
upvoted

what a work....really mind touch work....😍😍

Yes, its a lot of work :-).

I'm curious how many earrings you have made for yourself :D

At first I thought it would be more than 10 :D

Creative work @fathin-shihab

Very nice work. :) Thanks for sharing your steps to create your zebra earrings. I could see those with many different animal prints as well.

Thanks @beccadeals :-).yes, with other animal prints it will also look good. I just dont have all colors.

Wonderful 3d designing work @fathin-shihab.
Resteemed.

Thank you @madushanka

This is really great! You are super talented :)

My god, what happened with that first failure, the print head try to run way ?
Looks like the entire thing exploded !

You really got the hang of your tool there ! (What tool is that ? at first I thought FreeCAD, but it looks different. Of course, I'm a complete novice in 3D design, so I barely know any of the popular tools).

I'm currently testing out Vectary, for their X-Mas ornament competition.

I'd played around with 3D Design a few months ago, and just got back into it after receiving an email my Steemit-themed models had been test-printed by someone at the MyMiniFactory community.

So now I'm going to play around with it again :)

Your post (and amazing skills) are great inspiration !

hahaha! Those were more than 1 failure, I believe 10 or so. Luckily nothing exploded! Yes, I got curious of 3D designing/printing somewhere in March this year ;-). Nice to meet another 3D printing nerd :-). I don't know about the MyminiFactory actually. Good luck with 3D printing! Thank you for dropping by! Following you!

Awesome post so creative thank you so much

I know it's about the earrings and they are great but you are gorgeous!!!

😊thank you @thesteemster

Really pretty work.... got my attention :)

wow that's looks so beautiful :D

Yes, they look very beautiful, thanks! :-)

Awesome post, great work :-)

you're welcome @fathin-shihab :-)
