ManAdorned Aluminum Net Triple Ring

OK… so in a previous review, I may have said that I cannot decide if I like the hex pattern or the net pattern better for my own custom-designed adornment. I think I’ve settled on the net pattern being preferred - and to drive the point home, I decided to build a crowning achievement in my absolute favorite adornment style: a gorgeous triple ring of this current favorite design!

The design itself just a fusion of the standard ring (review, a newly designed shaft ring and a newly designed ball ring. I had each ring manufactured standalone, and they all are wonderful as they are (which makes sense - they perfectly fit my preferred style and size).

However, to design this particular adornment as a fusion of the three designs, it would require a very complex and costly manufacturing process. The initial cost estimates were far outside of what would be a reasonable range (in my opinion) due to the fact that manufacturing this crowning achievement as a single piece would require a large block of raw material and a step up from a 3-axis to 5-axis CNC manufacturing process. After a bit of back and forth and conversing with engineers, the parts manufacturer suggested making all three pieces separately - and then welding them together. Thus, the cost would be the cost of making the rings per usual with a nominal fee added to weld them in the shop.

I wasn’t sure how the result would look, but couldn’t scoff at the fact that the proposed design would be right around the cost of a typical Tungsten Carbid adornment - so took the gamble. In order to prep, I updated the three models so they would meet at perfectly flat points ensuring the welding would be easy and all of the angles would meet at exactly the right points. I then sent the designs in and waited in excited agony for a few weeks.

The result was as spectacular as hoped. While there is indeed an imperfect joint as the outside edges meet (see the image), the cost trade off feels like an acceptable compromise - particularly given that only one of these joints is visible. The cock ring measured at 1.87" x .596", the ball ring at 1.49" x .75", and the shaft ring at 1.375" x .433". As usual, the manufacturing was very close to specification thanks to aluminum being a great material to start with. Wearing an electropolished finish makes it so the whole adornment really shines (but takes on fingerprints like nobody’s business!). With a slightly more generous width of the ball ring, it also creates a nice visual separation of all anatomical parts.

Simply put, the worn adornment is a sight to behold! If I don’t take it easy with these experiments and custom designs, I’m going to run out of space soon (again, again, again, again)!
