Description:
What's up!I just came up with a pretty sick idea to encase a lighter in a 3D printed steel case with an embedded Tritium vial and attachment for a necklace chain.
If this isn't an interesting project, I don't know what is! Hopefully there will be a lot of submissions showing a variety of styles.
Wants:
View the attachment details.jpg for lighter measurements.View the following links for design inspiration, I would like this case to be very detailed and perhaps have a design element that is only possible with the 3D printer.
www.shapeways.com/jewelry
www.shapeways.com/search
The steel material has design requirements lined out here in detail by Shapeways: www.shapeways.com/materials/steel
3 possible themes for this are cannabis, futuristic or abstract/geometric.
The price of the print depends on the volume of material used, Shapeways has some tips on making the print more economical; www.shapeways.com/tutorials/design_for_cheaper_3d_printing
I'm not entirely sure how many Tritium vials or what size. Experiment, but don't go too crazy, in the end the most I'll pay for the necklace is $500 total for 3D print/chain/Tritium, here's the sizes/prices/colors;
Cylindrical:
0.95 x 3.0mm - $4.68 (Green)
1.4 x 3.5mm - $5.20 (Green)
1.5 x 6.0mm - $7.28 (Yellow, red, purple, white, green, ice blue, blue, orange, pink)
2.0 x 6.0mm - $8.84 (Yellow, red, purple, white, green, ice blue, blue)
2.0 x 12.0mm - $10.40 (Yellow, red, purple, white, green, ice blue, blue, orange, pink
3.0 x 22.5mm - $14.04 (Yellow, red, purple, white green, ice blue, blue, orange ,pink)
3.0 x 25.0mm - $15.08 (Green, ice-blue, blue)

thanks ;-)
thank you billy,,
thank you billy,,
Straight up killed it. Winner.
Thanks for your work guys. I don't require the files for your projects if you don't wish. Just thanking you for your work. 
Stepped the game UP! HELL YEAH!Shapeways verified file too, thanks for your work.
See this flickr photostream for some good ideas that would please us: http://www.flickr.com/photos/19122318@N07/
These are all in consideration so far.
I've asked a few designers to create an account on shapeways.com, upload their file and verify it has a green check mark for initial print as well as no thin wall issues for any of the plastic or alloy material options presented after uploading.
Please do this for all future submissions as I had to ask a designer of a previous project to fix something that seemed minor, but required the entire model to be rebuilt because of it. Save time and energy by verifying your parts will print before submitting!
Thanks, my brother and I are impressed with the skills available through this site time and time again. Keep it up!
Radical! No complaints.Thanks and don't be afraid to try some more styles. We will decide how many to buy later during the contest, probably 3-5 total designs.

Amazing use of the Tritium sticks there, let's see some stuff like that in this lighter case!

Your designs can extend past the length of the lighter. Link case pieces together with Tritium vials. Multiple layers of "shell".
Go crazy guys!
Go crazy guys!
Just a few changes to that and it would be possible to print. Really creative.Thanks!
Thanks for your submissions, but they need to include Tritium vials. Here is the list to choose from when creating your designs:
Cylindrical:
0.95 x 3.0mm - $4.68 (Green)
1.4 x 3.5mm - $5.20 (Green)
1.5 x 6.0mm - $7.28 (Yellow, red, purple, white, green, ice blue, blue, orange, pink)
2.0 x 6.0mm - $8.84 (Yellow, red, purple, white, green, ice blue, blue)
2.0 x 12.0mm - $10.40 (Yellow, red, purple, white, green, ice blue, blue, orange, pink)
3.0 x 22.5mm - $14.04 (Yellow, red, purple, white green, ice blue, blue, orange ,pink)
3.0 x 25.0mm - $15.08 (Green, ice-blue, blue)
Very nice. Sorry if I was unclear, but the additional geometry was meant to be on the other side of the trit sticks so they're caged in and shine light through the shapes.No logos for this one as it's a one-off piece more for the wardrobe. Can't sell Tritium in the states without legal hassles, which kind of helps with the hype of it at parties.
Thanks!
Do you have a company name that you would like on the case?
I'm getting cancer just looking at this one, and that's a good thing!Try filling the cells with more geometry. That would look sweet casting shadows in photos for ads.
Another feature for this case that would be nice to see is covering the metal shroud of the lighter as well.
Thanks, I'll ask the tritium source if getting 60+ at a time would be a problem.
Very beautiful design. The shape definitely goes into the 3D print style I'm expecting to see.Overall I would like more texture/surface detailing. You could do some really nice subtle raised curves on the surface to keep the flow you have while getting pretty complex.
And forget what I said about price, it should be fine using a higher number of tritium vials to really make this thing GLOW! I want to grow a tumor after wearing this thing.
Thanks for your creativity on the project!
You've got the idea, now crank the detail up to 11. Needs way more glow too, trying to stick out at parties and promote business with the help of this thing.Thanks!
I plan on using a simple ball chain for the necklace as pictured here; http://i.imgur.com/gdYTard.jpg
So it's really the design of the lighter case.
Thanks

Pennybandz Shark Head Pendant
Please see attached picture (necklace.jpg) of our standard pressed penny holding pendant. This project is to modify the pendant to look like a realistic shark with it's mouth open holding the pressed penny (shark pendant.jpg). I have attached a model that was made for us but it looks too toy/cartoon like (shark mouth). We are looking for a realistic design...NOT a cartoon looking shark head.
