Gear rings




This is the latest design of the gear rings that I am currently working on at the moment. I made a few changes while I was cutting it on the CNC because there was same few issues that came up when I was cutting and casting it, the first thing was the teeth of the gears on the side bands did not fit nicely on the center band. I had to redesign from rhino{CAD} make the size of the gear teeth different and spaces on the centre band to be 0.50. Before that the band could not fitting on the centre band.

The other issue was that the teeth on the sides bands were too sharp, so I had to make them a bit flat so that they can allow the gears to move more smoothly like on the first picture. The other thing is that the next step from here is to develop this idea into another piece, the main thing the I want to do with the next piece is that this piece should have an element, that is going to show that it was made out of machine.

The other thing is that the contrast of sterling silver and nickel sliver is working nicely, like on this ring the center band is made out of nickel sliver and the two sides bands out of sterling silver, but with the next piece I want to make the finishing rough and shining. With this ring the two metals are both shining and that makes it difficult to see that there different metals.
