Testing Prototype Plaster Handle Molds!

In my last video, I made several prototype handle molds using a 3D printed form. They all had issues but 2 of them were not horrible. Here I test them to see if any other issues arise that I'll need to account for. And in the process I created 2 mugs with their very own slip cast handles!

I've used TPU to make molds for my plaster, and they worked decently well. Just be aware of the general drawbacks with TPU.

@PotterybyKent 16 дней назад

Thanks for sharing. Surface finish seems like a major drawback since it eventually transfers into the pot.

Thank you for the video, there's a lot of effort evident. Could you demonstrate how you measure the material thickness after casting? 👍

@PotterybyKent 27 дней назад

The thickness of the clay in the handle? Here it is cast solid so there isn't anything to measure. If you mean for a pot, that is determined through trial and error as it depends on your molds and clay body. But you can measure a freshly made pot and apply your clay shrinkage factor to get the final thickness.

@O.t06 27 дней назад

@@PotterybyKent Thank you for your response. Could you show the thickness of a freshly made pot in your new video? Thanks!

You can see it in this one where I trim the slip well off the pot while in the mold. It's a few mm

These look great Kent. Scoring (roughing it up) the ends of the handle and attachment area on the mug will make a stronger bond.

@PotterybyKent 25 дней назад

@kbsorrells yes as I mention in the video you can also score in addition to slip. However with slip cast pieces (and correct drying) it likely isn't needed. And indeed I just pulled a bunch from my kiln and they are all great.
