3D printed metal jewelry (+unboxing)

We prototyped 3D printed jewelry in copper filament, had it made in precious metals (gold, silver, brass, bronze, and rhodium) and we’re able to sell them for passive income (as makers, we’re always looking into ways to sell our products or designs!). This was originally going to be an unboxing video, but we thought the backstory might spark some ideas if you’re looking to sell your own products or interested in metal 3D prints 👇 materials & links below! 👇

This video isn’t sponsored by Shapeways, but we thought this was a really interesting way to diversify your monetization as a maker. We sell handmade products as well, but this is actually a passive income stream that allows us to focus on the design (instead of manufacturing and shipping). After so much time and thought going into our prototypes that we made in copper filament, it was SO satisfying seeing our designs made in fancy metals! Unboxing these was like Christmas morning. We got the ring made in gold, silver, brass, bronze, and rhodium, and the necklace made in gold and silver. We really love how these turned out, and we think the selling process is very intriguing. The design is often one of our favorite parts of making, so being able to put a little more time into that and not having to deal with things like shipping is super nice.

I've done a lot of work with Shapeways over the years. I'm sure I've sold like 300 items. It's really great passive income if you come up with a popular design.

I'm still a little confused by Evans winking.... Or a bit excited ... Or scared.... Still confused.

Pretty dang cool you guys... wink wink wink wink wink winkity wink

[rachelpang]

You should put a jump ring in them and attach the chain to that. The swinging motion of the chain will eventually wear through and better a jump ring than your actual piece

[brickdaddiy]

Ooohhhh. So it's not actually 3D printed in metal, it's just 3D printed and then cast in metal... I was super curious how that was even possible. But now I know

It Really looks nice. just ordered the ring and pendant for my wife . I think she will love those. You two rock! keep the good stuff coming

[davidharvey]

Very cool! Many years ago I made earings and pendants from exotic hardwoods. I tried to make every set different in some way so no 2 people saw the other with the same as theirs. It's truly incredible how many colours of wood there are and the different grain patterns help with the uniqueness of each piece. I had no idea how dangerous the dust from most of them is at the time. Thanks guys

This is such a good idea! I smell a Valentine’s Day gift for my Disney loving girlfriend! Guess I better start designing!

I was thinging of making a braclet for my wife for 10 years anniversary. I was planning that it would have ten sections with different motives in every one for each year.. but ended up not to do it because I wasn’t sure about quality of the prints... but now seeing this I think I shoud’ve have.. oh well in nine years I can make 20 part one!

I love your desing so simple and elegant!

[FeliciaKahnke]
