Vampire Nails for a Costume

Very long and very elegant stilettos for your costumes or cosplays, strongly inspired by the vampire theme and the Día de los Muertos aesthetic. You just put them on and wear them – no need for attaching or glueing in any way. Please just read the sizing instructions ;)   The nails are placed on rings which should sit on your fingers firmly (see the photos). Some of the nails (bigger ones) contain also a moving element - a charm. There are 4 different types of nails here (with or without a blood element; with or without charm element). In the example set almost every nail is different, but of course you can mix them as you like (but please note that the charm element could be too fragile for very small versions of this model - you can read more about the exact sizing in the instructions below). Boost MeIf you enjoy the project, consider boosting (it's free!). It gives me the possibility to create another models way faster - thank you!!  (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Colors The two-color model in the photos is hand-painted. If you really want to use an AMS to print in two colors, you can (I prepared the model so you can use different colors for roses, blood and charm parts), but I didn’t upload a print profile for it because it would take an enormous amount of filament only to be purged (for example it can take 2g of filament printed in one color, and about 50g printed in two colors – and I think it’s an insane amount) and I wouldn’t recommend wasting such tons of filament, as the nails are really easy to paint with any type of acrylics or acrylic markers, like Posca (and even with alcohol markers if you print in light colors instead of black). Sizing As always, I prepared a default 5-nail set for you to print on the go. It’s the one I use in the photos – I’m a woman and I have rather small hands, so feel free to resize as you like.   Alternatively, if you want to get the sizing in the best way possible on the first try, I’ve prepared print profile ("NAILS FOR RESIZING") and instructions for you to do this. Please DO NOT PRINT from these profiles until you read the instructions below – as you may end up wasting the filament. Exact sizing For exact sizing please use print profiles named “NAILS FOR RESIZING”. You can find here 4 different types of nails here. They are all prepared in the same way but the ones with charms are not meant for very small sizes (I would say, the smallest you should print nails with charms would be 140% of the original size (maybe 130% if you will be veeeryyy careful in removing supports)). Nails with blood (can be printed at 100% and up) Nails without blood (can be printed at 100% and up) Nails with blood with charm (print at least in size 140%!!) Nails without blood with charm (print at least in size 140%!!) How to take exact measurements before printing - step by step The rings attached to the nails have an inner diameter of 10 mm (btw it’s already very small and to be honest I wouldn’t recommend printing smaller than that – it may be too fragile). Now look for the included table (below) – you will need to get some of the regular rings you have – and measure their inner diameter. Alternatively, you can measure the circumference of your finger (for example use a piece of thread, wrap it around your finger and cut to the length – then take it off and measure the length with the ruler). Be sure to measure the right position on your finger (see the photo below). Now find the closest inner diameter or circumference in the table and find the percentage value corresponding to it. Let’s say your favourite ring has an inner diameter of 17,5 mm – you will need to resize my nail-ring model to 175% of its original value. So, just open the Scale menu in Bambu Studio, and resize the model of the nail to 175%. Now you have the ring with an inner diameter of 17,5 mm and you’re good to go. If you don’t know your finger sizes and don't want to take measurements I’ve also prepared the sizing rings for you to try – if you want, you can first print a few of them, check your finger sizes, and then print the full set in exactly these measurements. It’ll save you some filament. In the file you will find the ring models in the sizes from the table – check the objects names (they are called for example “RING – 12mm”) to find the exact one you want to print. Be sure to try them on in the right position on your finger (see the instructions photo).
