Maxwell Crest Ring

Hi all, I've been playing with some software and made up a few Maxwell Crest rings all are set to size 10:

Now I have no stake in these rings, there is a free software that allows you to put a b&w image on the face of a basic ring.
The software company owns the ring design and profits from its sales, not by much maybe 30% of the cost. But the materials available allow for metal rings to be made.
I plan on getting a copy of the first one in plastic to see how it turns out then probably a stainless version in bronze finish if its nice. I've used the service to print a few other rings and stuff in stainless and silver and they turn out great.
I made others but wasn't a fan of the way they turned out.
Here is the free online software to play with your own:

Post if you order before I do. I'd love to see these if they work for you.
Enjoy!

What a neat idea! I also would like a Maxwell signate ring because my GG grandmother was a Maxwell and my kilt is muted Maxwell from the House of Edgar. I also have a Maxwell plaque with the same inscription. I need to get my wife involved maybe a Christmas present? best regards Mattie

A small word of caution,

The design for the Clan Crest used by this program is not their work. This Belt and Buckle design was done by Romily Squire who is also the artist to The Lord Lyon and The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs. This Belt and Buckle design is owned and copyright by Gaelic Themes.

Use of this belt and buckle design without the permission of the copyright owner could result in a problem.

I know that you see this particular belt and buckle design a lot on the web but that does not make it right. Gaelic Themes has pursued legal action in the past against others who have used their design without permission.

Are their products made with a 3-D printer?

Those things are amazing! They are creeping toward Star Trek replicators!

I don't think a 3-d printer will print with metal, will it? That would take either a dissolved metal, or else a melted metal, neither of which would be cheap enough to make a profit on.

Dbh, I agree. Metal, not so much...plastics and other synthetics, however...very much so.

I geeked out on 3-D printer videos on YouTube for about 20 minutes just now. Blows my kind every time. These things are truly revolutionary.
