Is this 3D model really free?

Yes. There's no account, no watermark and no limit. You can print it, cast it, render it and sell what you make. If you share the file itself, please credit Bling AI with a link to this page.

Which file should I download?

STL for 3D printing or a casting house: the metal only, as one closed solid. 3DM to open in Rhino or Matrix, with the metal and stones on their own layers. OBJ for Blender, KeyShot and most other 3D software. GLB for the web, AR and quick renders, with metal and diamond materials. All of them are in real size.

Is it ready to print and cast?

Yes. The piece is one closed solid (no holes, no overlapping shells) in real millimetres, so it can go straight to castable resin or wax. Ask your caster whether they want it scaled up for shrinkage.

Yes: each strand follows the over-and-under path of a three-strand plait, a third of a turn behind the next. For two wires twisted into a rope instead, see the twisted rope ring.

Can I make product photos from the model?

Yes. Make product photos of it opens the piece in our 3D viewer: choose the metal and angle, and Bling AI turns that view into studio and on-model photos. That part needs a free account.

Braided ring, free 3D model

Q: How much does a braided ring weigh?

This one, as first shown, is about 3.5 g in 14k gold, 4.2 g in 18k gold and 5.7 g in platinum, measured from the 3D model itself. The table above has other sizes.

Three round wires plaited over and under each other all the way round, like a three-strand braid of hair. Set the size and wire, then download it. Free, with no account.

STL: the metal only, ready for a slicer or a casting house. 3DM opens in Rhino and Matrix with metal and stones on their own layers. OBJ and GLB include the stones. All in real size.

The model

What you're downloading

Braid: three 1.2 mm round wires, each passing over one neighbour and under the other, about 3.7 mm wide in all.
One solid: the wires overlap slightly where they cross, so the band prints and casts in one piece.
Sizes: US 3 to 13 in half sizes, each built to its exact inside diameter (see the ring size converter for UK, EU and JP sizes).
Files: built in your browser when you click, exactly as you set it. STL, 3DM and OBJ are in millimetres (STL and 3DM Z-up); GLB is in metres, as the format requires.

Metal weight

How much does a braided ring weigh?

Measured from the 3D model, metal only, with everything else as first shown above. Real pieces vary a little with the alloy and finishing.
