Today, let's make a fox face bottle opener ring with the wrench tool in the

back. This ring is cast in steel. Let's get started!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Since it's a Thanksgiving (Today) I'm going to

give away this ring file at the end of the video. So stay till the end of the video

I'll show you how to get this file, and where to send for printing. Starting with

this file, you can use any type of animal head online to making the bottle opener

There is some tricks to get it correctly. So let's go ahead to find the image that

we want first. You can go to the Google just typing any type of animal that you

would like to have. I'm just typing fox head

clipart, and you can pick the simple one. What we need to have is just

the outline, so pick any of the outline that you think will help you to identify

what type of animal. Let's bring in this picture using the command "Picture"

and let's go to the top view, we're going to trace this picture right here.

So let's use the "Control Point Curve" and you can go ahead to trace. You don't have

to trace all over, we just need to have the head and also we just need to trace

half of it. so I'm going to the new layer coming

here. Make the layer into the red color. So it's easier to see and you can have

it stop where your think is over the half of them, and they also want to trace

the ear

and also the nose

Alright and I also want to draw a line to show where approximately I think the

center line should be. So I'm gonna draw a line there. Holding my SHIFT (key) and

having this line moving down a little bit, and go ahead to trim anything

over the center line. So now we have that. We don't need the rest of it, the

eyes or anything. Again depends on your design. I'm going to

hide this one first. Now we also need to trim this area off, because

we want to just have our line there, and we do want to have everything as a

little bit rounded, so I'm going to use the command "Fillet Corners", and I want to

give it the fillet for radius 1, and also fillet here and here. So make

everywhere rounded. Now we are done we are going to mirror to the other side

right there, and you want to make sure the top is nice and round. The bottom one

is going to be covered by the nose, so it doesn't really matter, but you just want

to make sure the top is nice and rounded. and let's go ahead to join them. I'm

going to make this ring size very big because it's a man's ring and so the

diameter is going to be 22.2 which is almost like 13 in the size

and plus it's gonna casting in steel so I'll shrink a little bit, so I don't want

it to be like too small, and it is a huge ring, by the way, so let's go ahead to

make it into a ring. Let's go ahead and use a rectangle tool, and I'm going to

make it very wide like 19. The thickness that's make it into 2.85

so that's the ring that we have, we want to move this ring from the midpoint to

the quadrant, and now we also want to run off the corner first. so let's use the

command "Fillet Corners", and let's pick it up for radius 0.5 to make it

into the ring. All we need to do is go to the Surface- Sweep One, and you want to do

rail and cross section. Now we need to put the fox face. Move it from the

center line and let's type in "0", so it's right there at the zero

point, and we can move it up a little bit. now to decide how big this face

should actually work for the cap, we need to understand how big the cap is. So you

can go online to find a cap size or you can just open the refrigerator get one

beer out of your refrigerator and measure it, and then you can model

something really simple like this. This is just for our reference to see if that

will work. If we go ahead and go to Extruded Planar Curves- Straight. You're

going to notice that it is gonna be really sharp edges, especially when it is

meet on the intersection right there. So it doesn't look good because

it's too sharp over there. What we can do instead of extrude straight, we are

going to extrude it. Solid- Extrude Planar Curve. Instead of going straight

that we want to go Taper. you can taper into the sides that will go along with

this maybe the egg the degree is not enough. maybe I wanted to do 30 degree so

you will have something like this. Notice that when you extrude it

it's almost like 3d scale and then so it's it's like too big right now for the

top. What you can also do is you can do 1D scale back. That way I will fit

inside of a ring, and again what we are looking at is where the intersection

is so if it is too big for you just go ahead to scale it down like that.

We need to do a test just want to make sure that everything is working.

Especially if that fit into the cap. Let's do a test first, and see if that

working. Let's go ahead with "Boolean Difference" this out of this one,

and we will get this cut right there. We want to tilt it a little bit

and we want to get inside of it. What you wanted to see is you

don't want that the edge is touching if the edge is touching that means the

piece in the center you should go a little bit wider. That means you need

to go 1D scale a little bit more like this way. You want to judge in between

where there is the shape is that still maintain the form of the Fox. Things like

that. We want to get this one in a little bit there, and make sure that see

this is much better it's not gonna touch so we can do one more test by "Boolean Difference"

We can make this cap get in you don't have to have a whole cap

get in you just need to have a partial of it, especially when we have the nose.

With this curve, let's go to Solid- Extruded Planar Curve- Straight, and then

we'll get something like this. You don't have to have it really long because in

the bottom here, it should catch the cap edge, but it does need a little bit bigger I

gotta move it here or if you want to move it out that will be fine okay

Maybe that's stick (out) too much. We want to scale it down a little bit

something like this. Okay now when we look at this, it's really sharp out there

so we wanted to do is Fillet the edges, and I want to fillet

like 0.8 millimeter. It should work. So you may

end up this all the time, sometimes. It's because the little things right there.

You see that there are two seams right there, and unless you're doing the

the fillet is smaller than this seam, otherwise, you're always gonna get a

result like this. So I'm going to go back to the stage right here.

You can see that we have a seam there. To fix this issue, you're going to

delete these, and that will fix the seams. You will no longer to have that seams and

you're just gonna have it coming back a little bit or coming in a little bit to

get to the original shape. Maybe this too. I need to have them coming out a little

bit. L's do one more time, we are going to extrude it straight and

then we are going to make it bigger, moving out here, maybe going a little bit

Let's take a look how this fillet will work. Let's go ahead to use

the Fillet we used. The same radius for 0.8. Now it's working,

Uh....now it's not working because 0.8 is too big over there. So I'm

going to lower down 0.5 and let's try 0.5 here alright so now it's

working fine. It's great that opportunity, I can show you

how to fix that fillet issue. We got the front done, and try one more

time and try to rotate this and see if I catch some time as you can see it's

catch right there, so you kind of need to manipulate multiple times to get what you want.

In the back of the design, I'm going to have some hexagons right

here, so I'm going to snapping in.... to turn on the Grid Snap. Snapping any point, I

type in six us my number, and I can make it like this, and you can gradually

changing the size down or you can find out what is the standard size and

use that standard size to do this. I'm gonna simply make three

just showing you how to do it, but you can make it prettier, if you like to

With this I'm going to select all of them and just trim off whatever

in the middle and then hit ENTER and join them, so this is what the wrench is

going to be, so you can lock three different sides of the nuts over there.

What we're gonna do again we're gonna move this to the center, so let's use

the Center Center, snapping into thT zero and that will be there. this one since we

don't have to worry about the cap so we might able to just go ahead to use

extrude straight and again you can extrude it in the angle if that works better for

you but I'm just gonna use the straight at the bottom tool right there. so that

is the opening for that. this is a basically a trial you need to tweak a

little bit because the ring size different it's going to change a lot of

diameter right there. I would like to send you a STL printing file for my

gift to thank you being fans and writing the comments. You can print this

ring in shapeways if you're in the USA you can print in the shapeways they have

all different kind of a materials. This ring has been proof in working I was

printing in steal they come in different

colors, so you have the choice to a black color, brown silver bronze, gold color, and

nickel color, so those colors will enhance the personal preference. All you

have to do is leave the comment. Let me know where you're from. You can type

your city and your country. I have people coming from all over the world, that's

really amazing knowing where you're from. I'm in Detroit in USA, so like I can

type it "Hi from Detroit USA", and also subscribe my news later and I will send

you an email with this file here. I promise I won't send you junk only good

stuff from me. Thank you for watching and happy holiday. I'll see you next.
