3D-printed Keeper ring

Do you want to be a Keeper and wear their ring? Too bad! Enrolment is closed.
But hark! You may now get an honorary membership and a ring that looks kinda like a keeper ring! All of that for only fifty gold, what a steal!

I made this ring in Blender. It is inspired by the Keeper medallion (rather than the actual Keeper ring as seen in the intro movie).
The (http://faxmachinen.com/resources/blender/KeeperRing.blend) .blend file is here (while bandwidth lasts, feel free to mirror). Using millimetres as units, the ring is about a US size 10 (see (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_size) this ring size chart).
You can order a Real Life™ version from your local (or more likely not-so-local) 3D-printing shop. I already uploaded it to (https://www.shapeways.com/model/1641968/keeper-ring.html) Shapeways and (http://www.sculpteo.com/en/design/keeper-ring-2/YqBuMDUn) Sculpteo for your convenience.

Toodles!

P.S.: I spied someone else's intro-movie-Keeper-ring over at Shapeways too.

Size isn't everything you know. ;)

Very nice, Mortal Monkey.

Most of them (including the ones I linked) do ship internationally.

If that's a joke, it went way over my head.

I was being serious, I thought the rings were actually bigger in-game..?

Still very cool none the less.

That's a great comeback joke, if it was intended as one. Well, even if it wasn't, it was still funny either way.:laff:

Anyway:

I wasn't even aware that there were Keeper rings in the game. Unless you mean the (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/thief/images/e/ef/TG_B01_07.jpg) cutscene one, which is definitively slimmer than this one. Or (http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090321201423/thief/images/8/8f/DromEd_Object_Model_keepmed.jpg) the medallions, which are obviously larger what with being medallions and all.

Threads like this one make me want to pick up (http://store.makerbot.com/replicator2) one of these more and more, (or (http://store.makerbot.com/replicator-mini) one of these for little stuff). I've been toying with the idea for a couple months now, and considering all the cool stuff I could do with them, they're not that expensive.

I mean hell, I almost spent that much on my nice old Nikon I ended up dropping down the stairs and shattering into a million billion pieces, and I hate myself forever for doing that. A couple of months of saving up, and I could buy one straight up.
