3D Printed Ceramic Mug | The Cool Parts Show #48

[@frederickbruner7475]

i’m going to order one or a couple of these thanks to this video, love 3d printing, US small businesses, and coffee. this is perfect

[@kylethecreator]

Figuring out the speeds and feeds is always the hard part. I'm trying to figure that out right now.

[@michaeld954]

also ceramic figures or statutes would be awsome

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🏺 The episode explores 3D printing with clay, a process known as digital pottery. 01:06 🧊 3D printing with clay allows for unique mug designs and digital pottery creation. 02:08 🛠️ Matt Sutton, from MadeXBinary, is an engineer who pioneered 3D printing with clay. 04:08 🪶 3D printing with clay presents challenges due to its softness and slow drying time. 05:42 🚰 Clay used for 3D printing requires careful mixture control to balance flow and solidity. 06:45 🍶 3D printing ceramics like mugs requires reengineering designs to avoid overhangs. 08:12 🕰️ The 3D printing step is short, but extensive post-processing is needed for clay ceramics. 11:46 🧐 The layer lines are intentionally left visible to emphasize the 3D printing process. 13:15 🏭 Carpenter Additive's facility in Alabama specializes in producing metal powder for additive manufacturing. Made with HARPA AI

Yaaayy! Matt retrofitted his printer off an original Printrbot Simple Metal! I still have mine but, I cooked the board. I'm researching now how to retrofit a new board and whatever else is required to be replaced!

[@heartminer5487]

Has he considered additional surface treatment like bead blasting so that you are not limited by the layered look? People can appreaciate the layer esthetics but there is room for more styles.

[@larscw74]

Wouldn't it be possible to add solvable support, which could be made before? I think this is really interesting as this is something that is repeatable.

[@randomtux1234]

14:24 CA logo-old Seagate logo?

[@glassboxes]

he should make ceramic shelters for aquarium creatures.

[@michaeld954]

can a direct mold for casting metals be made with this

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

From Matt Sutton: I'm not sure. I've never tried this, nor do I know anyone that has. Off-hand, I would have concerns with thermal shock. But if the mold could be pre-heated, then... maybe?

[@markbass_trojanthinking]

very cool!

[@lisemagdalen]

These clays will still be needed to be fired, though, to be used as actual mugs, right?

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

Yes, the mugs are glazed and fired in a kiln.

[@foxxy473]

@@AdditiveManufacturing Needs two fires - bisque and glaze

[@slevinshafel9395]

can you make nozzel for space rockets?

[@koroshghanbarzadeh1360]

Brilliant.

[@swannjiejiechow3495]

love it, v beautiful. I want to buy such a 3d printer.

[@middleway1885]

Super fun! Woooh!

[@jimglock46135]

Has he considered using a deflocculant to decrease the viscosity of the clay without increasing the water content? Darvan 811 (43% Sodium Polyacrylate solution) is used in “slip casting” to liquify clay without adding water.

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

From Matt at madexbinary: "Did I consider using a deflocculant? Yes and no. I was aware of techniques used in slip-casting to reduce water content (and the associated shrinkage), but as a newcomer to ceramics I was ignorant of the details. On top of that, manufacturing favors stability. So once a suitable ‘recipe’ was arrived at, further adjustments and experimentation was viewed through the lens of risk vs. reward. Bottom line is that I was happy where I was. Having said all that, I’m nearing the limits of what I can do speed-wise, so recipe adjustments that reduce shrinkage actually have a material impact on reducing print time. So a recipe adjustment such as this is something I should reconsider!"

Thixotropie-Pulver gab es vor längerer Zeit in jedem Baumarkt, um bei gewöhnlichen Anstreichfarben "Tropfnasen" an senkrechten Wänden zu verhindern. Bei diesen Farben genügte das Streichen mit Pinsel oder Rolle als Energie, die Farbe zu verdünnen. Das Problem war wahrscheinlich, dass viele Anwender das Prinzip nicht verstanden, denn in einem Baumarkt habe ich dieses Pulver schon lange nicht mehr gesehen. Ob sich das Mittel beim Brennvorgang negativ bis gefährlich auswirkt, das müsste noch überprüft werden. Den 3-D-Druck würde es aber sicher erleichtern.

[@adomaspovilianskas317]

cheers!

[@SpaceBond07]

Which design software did matt use?

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

Matt says, "I create the geometry in Rhino 3D, then use Rhino’s Grasshopper plugin to create the toolpath and ultimately the G-code for the printer." Thanks for watching!

[@SpaceBond07]

@@AdditiveManufacturing How well his business is doing? I see a huge potential for the ceramics business in my area. But I cannot get low-cost clay 3d printer here in India. Should I even try this business?

[@rn.4635]

Very nice!

[@st4738hika]

“It’s functional as a handle” - have you tried putting something hot in it? 😂

[@kennysonono7798]

🤣💦! I would really like to see Matt, Stephanie and Peter drinking something hot out of that 'mug'

[@user-zl5gi8sv7u]

i dont think thats the handle

[@yelectric1893]

I would like an over engineered teapot or mug with adjustable cooling

[@JKTCGMV13]

Cool part

[@stevesloan6775]

very tick without the post processing.... in a clay form

[@warrenwalker8170]

good thing we have dishwashers ah

[@V843v3r]

here is a mug, that can't be used because it has a handle that'll burn your hand off

[@jreamer0]

thats not a mug. its a pouring cup

[@AdditiveManufacturing]

It's versatile.

[@slevinshafel9395]

is like SCARA printer. LOL

[@bl8896]

Looks difficult to clean - I'll pass

[@xhappymasksalesmenx4092]

pretty sure this was created years ago...americans

[@AnatolyBerezkin]

Yes, in Netherlands since 2009, Italy since 2012

[@Flix-f6q]

Boring pottery, you can design better sruff.

For me it is funny that corded ware is actually 5000 years old. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corded_Ware_culture
