With the Super Bowl coming to the Bay Area in a few weeks, I decided to model a coin to print on Ember. (For you non-sports fans, commemorative coins are flipped at the beginning of games to determine who starts with the ball).  Eventually, I’ll have it investment casted, but for now, I want to demonstrate the technique I used for supporting my model.

 In this blog post, we’re going to explore best practices for designing supports for jewelry pieces, but first I’d like to briefly explain what supports are and why they’re so important.
