how can I make this without actual metal? I dont have a 3D printer btw. And where do I buy the string for this?
>>2951493Uhh that seems impossible, and no 3d printer? Yikes!
Aluminium can cutouts glued together or smthg idk lol?
>>2951493its rawhide not string. rawhide boot laces or at a hobby storewithout metal is a really really fucking big sphere of materials. cut it out of non corrugated cardboard (cereal box), layer, and build it up with two part resin expoy (glue aisle in hardware store) you can put some toothpicks in to stiffen but multi-layer cardboard is probably better given you can't add a keyring or anything, the keyring being metal.
>>2951518Aluminium is metal ya nonce. Plus if Al was allowed sand casting would be far superior.>>2951493you could make it out of chopsticks now that I think about it, the ring would still need to be something else. ditto with plastic, you could melt some different things like model sprues and the cutoff of a plastic water pipe. Again huge sphere of materials and no information.
>>29514931. rethink your life choices
>>2951493Use resin
>>2951493The other anons' suggestions are probably better but this looks like something you could make out of a sheet of wood with a fretsaw and some files.
>>2951493get some thermoset plastic beads, you put them in hot water, they melt and you form it and it cools and then you have your plastic crap

>>2951493you are an idiot.
>>2951493if you're too poor to get a $300 3d printer, then buy a chinese 3d pen
>>2951493>how can I make this without actual metal? I dont have a 3D printer btw. And where do I buy the string for this?so tired of seeing posts like this. if you don't want to do something right, then don't do it.
>>2951493What a waste of a thread. Walk around a craft store for 5 minutes, you fucking retard. Cardstock, cardboard, clay, plastic sheets, foam, there's so many different ways you could figure out how to do this, but you still need to be spoonfed.
>>2951493Is this for a Halloween costume? If you're going to throw it away in a few weeks and you're not trying to smuggle it through a metal detector just get some paperclips to build the shape and duct tape to hold it together.
>>2952131No I want to wear it frequently. I made it out of metal wire and clay. It's probably not the best tbqhI might get wood for this later
>>2951493Bake it as a hardtack.
>>2952181That's some CWC tier workmanship.
>>2952181That looks great and ready to wear! Nice work OP!
Update: I'm carving a new one out of wood, as the other is too fragile
>without actual metal?why not? make it out of wax, spread silicon over some cardboard and lay the wax inside it.wait a few days to dry and you have now made a silicon moldpersonally i'd fill the mold with clay and fire the clay in a bbq pit. you'd need to make about 12 of them though because they'll break easily.you might want to do resin or something else like that
>>2952181>No I want to wear it frequently.But why?
>>2951493Carve clay and cast molten hdpe inside
>>2952598Because I can't get access to and can't cut metal>>2952601Because it's my necklace
UpdateIt split apart once, but this actually made it easier to carve the insides
>>2952181>>2952638I want to know more about you. What tools do you have access to?
>>2952866Not much
Are you the alternative clothing thread guy?
>>2952877Nope
chunk of metal a drill and some files. I know you said no metal but its the best option. you could do the same on plastic also. maybe an old plastic butcher block or dollar store might have one
