Ring of Power
|
Design a ring of power with tinkercad. Be sure to measure the diameter of your finger. Use a piece of string to go around your finger. Measure the length of the string after you place it around your finger. Use a ruler with millimeters. Each line is a millimeter. The formula is Diameter = Circumference divided by Pi. Once you know the circumference (length around finger) in mm then do a google search for the circumference calculator. Choose the selection that says Omni. Change settings so all measurements are in mm. Put in your measurement for circumference. The diameter measurement will now show. Use that measurement adding two more mm. When you make the ring part, make sure that your ring has that measurement on both sides. This will give you the diameter of the ring so you will know how wide it should be. Also include a hole for the LED Light. The hole should be 6 mm wide. On the back include a hole or slot for the CR1025 Coin battery. The slot should be 10.5mm to 10.6 mm wide.
