I want to make rings as a project for my students so I dug up my old plastic ring sizer.  It was missing 2 rings so I looked up new ring sizers on Amazon.  The decent ones were like $15, less if it's plastic.  Then I realized I COULD PRINT MY OWN!!!!

On to Thingiverse and there they were!  Ring sizers!

Greatest 3D printing moment so far!

I loaded it up.  Tried blue tape + glue and then I heard things falling out of the printer.  Came to find this epic fail:

Cleaned it up a bit and added a raft. Worked out MUCH better, although I had to use a lot of material with the raft now.  But the rings work great and separate very well from the raft.
