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.
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
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
Yeah there is selective laser melting (SLM) or direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) or electron beam belting (EBM) that are all SUPER cool but wayyy expensive. I've gotten to play around with them some through my day job but yeah, definitely not in most people's budget. You can make things directly out of some pretty cool metals though!
Evan... I’m a fairly new subscriber so I apologize if this is common knowledge, but what is your day job? Just a note.. my husband and I are your newest super fans. You guys crack us up!! You two genuinely have soo much fun together.. we can total relate!! Keep doing what you guys are doing... 👊🏼
The ooh when you took the necklace out of the tumblr cracked me up!!! Great video as always guys, I really liked how you told the whole story, from design inspiration to final production :)
Since we sent them the 3D model and each one is made to order they can do infinite of the file!! The cost really depends on the material and size. The ring is an interesting one to play with if you change the size and material the price will update: goo.gl/YE94bt we just make a few dollars from each purchase so the manufacturing cost is close to the price displayed :)
Thanks for the info! I just checked out the website and it definitely looks like a really good way to be able to make some money and come up with some cool designs without such a big time investment! I've not actually got a 3d printer, but i'm guessing all I need to do is download some CAD software like solidworks or fusion 360 and send it to them?? Thanks for making me aware of the website anyhow and you might see me on there soon!
Do you know if they can create castings from actual psychical 3d sculptures, for example made out of clay or wood? Sorry i'm asking so many questions but you've got my brain going now!
I want to do this so badly! I have a small 3D printer to test out prototypes, glad to know there is a copper filament out there, I love copper the most.
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
Making a mold negative in wax then pouring metal into it is called lost wax casting. Lost wax metal casting is one of the oldest forms of metal work. The oldest known artifact is 6000 years old!! It’s cool to see ancient techniques still used with modern technology.
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!
20 parts are more epic than 10! That's a really cool idea. Yeah the detail is great, you do have to add very subtle chamfers to sharp corners but they walk you through it and it really doesn't take away from the look at all (we actually think the chamfers ended up making ours look even nicer!). Thank you!
"...like a finger muffin top..." ha ha. Katelyn's winks at the end were super creepy! ;) I really like how these turned out. I'm not sure what I thought they would be, but they impressed me.
+Bruce A. Ulrich haha! Creepy is a kind word to use for what those winks were 😜 And thank you! We should have known what to expect but we were super impressed when we saw how they turned out too!
It’s interesting to see how you two have changed in personality. You two tried so hard to be super professional in these older videos but now you guys seem more energetic I like both
Oh wow they all look so lovely, I think the Rhodium one is my favorite! I just remembered I modeled a Pyrite stature a few months back when I was looking to buy some random minerals from ebay and couldn't believe how cubic nature can actually get.
Thanks so much!! Yeah we love the Rhodium one and we didn't even know the material existed before we saw it as an option lol. So cool it doesn't tarnish! Oh and yeah love that nature can make cubic geometry!
It is quite the metal for sure, but something about the color I really enjoy! Yah I got huge into cubic lattice of various minerals and bought a bunch of fluorite octahedrons because they looked so cool.
You two are so adorable. I found your channel last week and have been obsessively watching aaalll of your vids. So creative and fun! Thanks guys, look forward to moooaaar!
"This video is brought to you by Katelyn's cup. Which she uses over and over again and washes a questionable amount." I love this! I am the same with my bowl. ^_^
Hi guys I love watching your channel have you ever using silver clay I just found out about this medium and it's blown me away. There is so many ways you can use it. So many ideas 😊
Is there anything you guys CAN'T do? lol. I'm so glad I stumbled across your channel a couple weeks ago! It's nice to watch [content] creators that I actually feel like I can relate to. Quirky, fun, smart... if ONLY I was as mult-talented, my skill-set would be complete lol.
This video was great as always! I'm definitely going to have to look into Shapeways to see if I can do anything there. This video gets 4.5 out of 5 winks!
AHHH YAYY thank you :D think you might be our first order!! We totally thought about earrings too but didn't put in enough time to figure out how to order them. Just did though and it's on our list! We'll order some prototypes and post on Instagram when they are available
Great!!! The complete set will look awesome with that fantastic minimalistic design. Note: Please make some other "shooter things", the watermelon killer was really astonishing.
guys i really love your videos! you are soo creative. great sweet people making great stuff just is amazing. sorry for my weird comment. just love what you are doing:)
That was a really fun unboxing! Sweet design too! ShapeWays is an awesome resource. I’ve had my shop there for about 4-5 years, and it has been a good extra income stream.
That's awesome Bernie!! Really like your anvil pendant in stainless steel :D yeah, excited to get a few income sources setup, especially more passive ones. What has been your most successful product over there?
Oh my gosh you guys replied!! Thank you so much. It really feels like I'm talking with a celebrity (which i am) but i... mabe check me out? I don't know. My channel is bad. I totally understand if you are busy. And everybody else wants to ask. so sorry, but thank you for making my day!!!😁😁😁😁
you're too kind! We are just regular folks working in our garage :) checked out your channel and left you a comment saying hi! Keep it up and keep working on videos, we're all figuring out this whole TH-cam thing together
That is so cool. Have you considered doing the casting yourself (take the 3d print and then do some sort of casting)? I think Ben Uyeda from Home Made Modern (like I have to tell you who he is) did something like that with sand, if I remember correctly.
Yeah definitely want to try that one day! It works especially well with low melt metals like Ben used. I think a really cool application for that is some sort of decor that won't be handled much
Those rings and necklace charms are remarkably affordable. My wife has been wanting to get into making jewelry, this might be a great path to take. I really want to get into working with materials other than wood, maybe Santa will bring me a 3d printer for Christmas...
+The Every Maker it's really surprising how affordably you can get these, especially comparing them to the normal cost of jewelry. If your wife is more interested in the design and ok with outsourcing the actual making then this is a really great route. Christmas is a long way away- maybe a birthday or anniversary present will come sooner! 😉
Well, my birthday is this weekend, but I think that's already all taken care of. My wife is taking me to an axe-throwing place, which is just about the coolest thing I could ask for, that and tickets to Les Miserables. I'll take throwing axes and a little bit of culture anyday!
Love u both, but was really hoping this vid was on laser deposition printing. If you haven’t heard of it check it out. They use metal powders and cinter it, just like a fused layer printer but with powder not filament. Way expensive but super cool. Maybe one of those companies would like to be featured in your vids... ;)
Thanks so much for this! I had some earrings made and now they seem to be tarnishing unevenly and I haven't worn them much. Have you noticed any discoloration or odd wear with these?
+Maggie Rider haven't noticed any tarnishing yet but it might depend on what metals you got. I mostly wear the gold and rhodium versions since they aren't supposed to tarnish
You guys are awesome! Great video. I designed and did a Pandora charm through Shapeways last year and they really do a great job with it. All the best with the storefront!
I'd love if you guys talk about money - costs and revenue of your business... What is the most profitable things you do and how? The switch to TH-cam - why you do what you do and why you don't do other things anymore.
So they printed it in wax, casted it in bronze, than plate it in gold, so you can sell a ring for 37 dollars and make a nice profit. That is amazing an really inexpensive your own designed ring. So a couple of questions: For how much do they make a ring? Is the whole aftersales done by shapeways? Is the ringsize determined by ring in the 3d file or are they upscaling the total ring?
Yeah for real! Especially great for smaller things since the cost is by volume. When you "double" the size of something (in scale) it's volume actually increases 8x so the price can go up quite a bit for larger items. The cost depends on the size and material so the best way to get an idea of cost is to go to the rings: goo.gl/YE94bt and play around with the size and materials (compare size 3.5 and 10). Just take a little off the price to see what the cost is. And yeah the whole aftersale is handled by Shapeways! For now we had to scale the ring for each size and make multiple models but they're working on implementing a feature which scales it automatically, so fingers crossed that is up soon. For now though scaling in Fusion 360 is not bad. Hope that helps!!

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
0:42 stop trespassing on my back yard!
Awww next time we were in the area we really were going to trespass on your actual back yard...
This is such a good idea! I smell a Valentine’s Day gift for my Disney loving girlfriend! Guess I better start designing!
Nice!! Hope she doesn't see this comment :P hehe, but have fun and good luck :D
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
Thank you and thanks for the order!! Hope she likes em! Appreciate the support and good vibes :D
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
Printing directly in metal is perfectly possible. But doing it this way is way cheaper if you're producing something in series.
Yeah there is selective laser melting (SLM) or direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) or electron beam belting (EBM) that are all SUPER cool but wayyy expensive. I've gotten to play around with them some through my day job but yeah, definitely not in most people's budget. You can make things directly out of some pretty cool metals though!
I always love it when the EBM music comes on in the club. You should see my sweet dance moves!
Evan... I’m a fairly new subscriber so I apologize if this is common knowledge, but what is your day job?
Just a note.. my husband and I are your newest super fans. You guys crack us up!! You two genuinely have soo much fun together.. we can total relate!! Keep doing what you guys are doing... 👊🏼
@@jonimae88 TH-cam is their day job.
New fav phrase, "finger muffin top" and zomg, new drinking game "drink when ya say OMG!" Wow, did those products come out amazing!!!
hahaha OMG watch out if you play that when watching our videos :D and thanks so much!!!
“Omg 2.5” I laughed so hard and idek why I found it so hilarious, love you guys
Caroline Kirschbaum Wait i thought it said 3.5?
Thank you for this! I’ve been considering a career in gemology but it turns out I should probably be doing jewelry design!
Omg this turned out so good! My fave was the shiny gold ring! ♥
It's my fav too!... for now lol - K
I love the intro. I wouldn't hate jewellery commercials so much if they were a bit more like that. Hope you guys sell a ton of them.
You mean, if they had more chins? I think that's what really sells the pendant :D Thanks so much!
The ooh when you took the necklace out of the tumblr cracked me up!!! Great video as always guys, I really liked how you told the whole story, from design inspiration to final production :)
One question I have is how much it costs, and how many castings they can do out of a single object you send them?
haha we miiiight be easily excited :D thanks so much for stopping by and for the nice comment!
Since we sent them the 3D model and each one is made to order they can do infinite of the file!! The cost really depends on the material and size. The ring is an interesting one to play with if you change the size and material the price will update: goo.gl/YE94bt we just make a few dollars from each purchase so the manufacturing cost is close to the price displayed :)

Aww thanks so much!! We certainly have fun with it :D
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
So much cool variation in wood, I bet they looked great!
I really love the style and look of those rings! I might have to spoil myself and buy one.
The rings are pretty awesome. I wear mine whenever I want to be fancy
Making a mold negative in wax then pouring metal into it is called lost wax casting. Lost wax metal casting is one of the oldest forms of metal work. The oldest known artifact is 6000 years old!!
It’s cool to see ancient techniques still used with modern technology.
Agreed, super cool! 👍😁

The winking came across......well...let’s just say don’t do it around a school 😂 😂
That's a really cool concept! I hope you guys make a ton off these!
Fingers crossed too :D excited that we have the chance to try something fun and cool and maybe setup a revenue stream at the same time!
Super cute, actually this was really interesting for me
Keep up the good work😀😁😃
Nice!! We were hoping it was something that people hadn't seen and would be interesting 😃😃
I loved the beautiful showing off of the jewelry and then Katelyns little laugh 😆😋
You guys are just so wholesome...
Aw thank you! ❤️❤️
800K SUBS FINALLY!
You guys are so cute together
OMG they all look Awesome!!! 😉😉...... Really nice designs E&K! 👍👍👊👊
Yayyy thanks so much Fred!! 👊👊
Hi guys I love watching your channel have you ever using silver clay I just found out about this medium and it's blown me away. There is so many ways you can use it. So many ideas 😊

I love you guys. You always make me smile. Nice job on finding a fun way to make and make money with it. Very cool.
+Darin Beard aw thanks! That makes us happy to hear. 😊😊
This video was great as always! I'm definitely going to have to look into Shapeways to see if I can do anything there. This video gets 4.5 out of 5 winks!
Hopefully we can work on our winking game to earn that last .5 wink in the next project! :P Thank you!
Maybe there are exercises you can do? Left! Right! Left! Right! ;) ;) ;) ;)
Woah I got a metal 3d printer advert before this video, nice
AWESOME look‼️ 💍
+Mikhandmaker thank you! We really love how they turned out too!
Just before the video started I had a metal 3D printer ad...
What does my FBI agent is thinking rn😂
Is it just me or what?
LOVE you guys!!
+lynerjy d'aww shucks!
OMG (x7)!!! Your designs are awesome, only needs earrings to complete it. I'm gonna buy some for my wife.

No, not weird at all, we love nice encouraging comments :D thanks for taking the time to leave one!

lol "so shiny!!!!!!" yeah, that's totally my reaction to things too. That is super cool though
Haha! Thanks 😁😁
Pyrite is my fave mineral/rock/gem/i forgot which one! So cool keep it up you guys!
You should get them in rose gold
I couldn't stop laughing at all the winking...it reminded me of Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development😉
hahaha, totally channeling our inner Lucilles!
Turn the OMG to 11! Nice one guys.

U guys look so cute together. Keep doing your thing and stay awesom

Hello :) 2 years later here xD it'd be so coold if you made new designs to add to that store ;)
What a beautiful design! Especially love the ring.. you guys are awesome!!! btw, winking scene cracked me up :)
+Joseph Bloom thank you! Haha we crack ourselves up too sometimes so I'm glad we aren't the only ones laughing at our own awkwardness 😜
These are so cool guys!!!
Thanks so much!
Awesome! Everything turned out great!
Yayy, thanks so much Scott! Appreciate the nice comment and support gph.to/2CScZw0 -E
Ha Ha! I've been GIF'd :) You should make a GIF of you guys winking.. LOL
OH LORDYY I'M IN LOVE!!!
Woo thanks!! :D
These are so cool! I looked at your site on shapeways and loved the designs. Keep up the good work!
Awesome!! Shapeways seems like a really cool service. I've thought about using it to get a branding iron made. Still in the design stages though
Oooh yeah that's definitely on our list too. Thinking about just sticking it into a soldering iron for a little mini one :D
Haha that's what I was thinking too!!
wow reasonably priced
I wanna snag one of those necklaces some day
Your channel is amazing 😁
+larry Big thank you so much!
You sold get a thank you for making people happy 👍
Niiiiice. I like the silver. Also, I wash my cup a questionable amount too.
Thanks! Hahaha glad I'm not alone!
This is what I am looking for!
That is so cool. Have you considered doing the casting yourself (take the 3d print and then do some sort of casting)? I think Ben Uyeda from Home Made Modern (like I have to tell you who he is) did something like that with sand, if I remember correctly.
Yeah definitely want to try that one day! It works especially well with low melt metals like Ben used. I think a really cool application for that is some sort of decor that won't be handled much
I love 3d printer jewelry
awesome! you guys should design a men's ring
Oooh that could be fun! Maybe with a tool or something embedded into the design :D
They look realy cool:D
Thanks!
You are very welcome:3 these kind of things inspire me as a goldsmith and i also like to see what other people make with their imagination:)
the thumbnail i voted for won. Woo!

mind blown. you guys just opened a whole new world of opportunities for me. (Y)
+Carwyn Owen yayyyy that's awesome!! Let us know if you have any questions about all this 😁👍
You guys are awesome! Great video. I designed and did a Pandora charm through Shapeways last year and they really do a great job with it. All the best with the storefront!
+Print Your Environment // Adylinn Studio thank you! That's a really cool idea t do your own charm
I'd love if you guys talk about money - costs and revenue of your business... What is the most profitable things you do and how? The switch to TH-cam - why you do what you do and why you don't do other things anymore.
We have plans for a big video about how we made this into a career so we'll definitely cover some of that stuff!
Awesome you guys!
Thanks so much Sophie!! :D
Those turned out gorgeous! When you said they made them in wax then cast them I'm guessing that means the lost wax technique?
Yup! Just using wax printers to supplement the process :D
EvanAndKatelyn oooh that's epic! I knew there were printers that printed sand for sand casting but didn't know there was wax printing.
Cover all fingers in spikey rings! Like some sort of evil queen.
+Ashish Kasturia yessshhhh that is the plan!! One step closer to villain mwahahaha
EvanAndKatelyn baby steps
+Ashish Kasturia one evil deed at a time!
i want one!!!OMG! They're so cool!!
You can get one! We have a link to our shop in the description
What was the approximate cost of having Shapeways do the silver rings? Thanks
The idea of making a pyrite - a.k.a. fool’s gold - model out of real gold amuses me.
Haha I hadn't considered that!
So they printed it in wax, casted it in bronze, than plate it in gold, so you can sell a ring for 37 dollars and make a nice profit. That is amazing an really inexpensive your own designed ring.
So a couple of questions:
For how much do they make a ring?
Is the whole aftersales done by shapeways?
Is the ringsize determined by ring in the 3d file or are they upscaling the total ring?
Yeah for real! Especially great for smaller things since the cost is by volume. When you "double" the size of something (in scale) it's volume actually increases 8x so the price can go up quite a bit for larger items.
The cost depends on the size and material so the best way to get an idea of cost is to go to the rings: goo.gl/YE94bt and play around with the size and materials (compare size 3.5 and 10). Just take a little off the price to see what the cost is. And yeah the whole aftersale is handled by Shapeways! For now we had to scale the ring for each size and make multiple models but they're working on implementing a feature which scales it automatically, so fingers crossed that is up soon. For now though scaling in Fusion 360 is not bad. Hope that helps!!
That's really cool and easy to make a few bucks. I know how addicting 3d software is.
Hello!!! Love your video😊😊
+Ricarda Efffler hello and thank you!
Cost for one ring in silver and gold from Shapeways? Just wondered if I sent one in. Approximate is fine. TY
You should've made earrings too
Recommended 3d printer under $300 for the copper wire?
I love the new channel banner! I wanna know how you drew all that :p
Thank you! I used a Wacom tablet in Photoshop and found straight on or side view photos of tools online I could use as reference :D
EvanAndKatelyn that's awesome! Do you think we'll see anything more featuring drawing ;)
