You can make a slurry by letting clay harden, break it up into little bits, then toss it into a blender with water and blend to the right consistency. Hope that helps!
I almost pulled the trigger but not for $899. Im curious really but after thinking about it i have a different idea and molding ceramic parts for my application may be better. I’m also an engineer and machinist so its just as easy for me to make a extruder if I really wanted too modify an older printer I’m not using. Eventually someone will sell the extruder kits to modify printers. Its a very neat concept. Perfect for schools.
Dis some googling and there are a some selling conversion kits and even an open source extruder design. Might have to play around with one and see if i can adjust it with an added feature. I like how some have heaters built in to get the ceramic so it will start drying after laying down print.
Welcome to the facinating world of ceramics .Cave tech! Its the best ! I use the two of them .ITs nice to make things by hand too folks, don't forget this.
that would really be ideal. I think I'll fire a few things a year, I can't justify the cost of a kiln, so I'll have to drive my stuff to one. Being able to be right in a shared space would rock.
Compared to the Clay Station 3D, this printer not big enough. The build area is too small for a real maker. A maker should not be restrained by a tiny size of the 3D printer when creating things. The Clay Station 3D allows you to 3D print ceramic objects in life size.
So I just seen this on 3D Printing Nerd. I was thinking, why not just make a slip mold out of plastic to start. Using the model to make an actual Plaster Mold. Lot more steps but then you can just pour more using that mold.
That's definitely not a bad idea but I would guess that there are shapes that are physically impossible to make with a slip mold, but an extruder could print just fine. Or, you might in fact just need a one-off for an art piece, and the extra work involved in mold-making would be best avoided. It might just come down to your personal use case

Pre awesome concept once properly refined would make a great platform for making moulds for casting metals I suppose the only thing that maybe would lack from printing from somthing like ceramic would be really fine details really interesting though 🤘
Do you think cookie dough would work through it? I know it would need to be thinner than normal cookie dough but baking them in a normal oven would remove the excess moisture, and could possibly make for a crispy crunchy cookie.

I suppose you could. I think you'd print with supports, let it dry, carve the supports off, then fire. I don't think you'd want to fire it all together then try to remove them, and when it is fresh and wet it's too floppy
I'm looking to create full size tiki mugs, how detailed can the models get? There are a lot of retail options now. Also, can these be glazed like normal ceramics? Thanks.
