Design & Assembly To make this mold printable on all 3D printers (regardless of build volume), the design is split into parts.

• Assembly: Simply glue the parts together to create a sturdy, full-sized mold. Gluing ensures the best function and stability when pressing the clay.

How to Use

1. Roll out your clay: Create a slab of clay to your desired thickness (approx. 5-8 mm is usually good).
2. Prepare the mold: To prevent sticking, lightly dust the mold with cornstarch or cover it with a thin layer of plastic wrap (cling film).
3. Shape: Place your clay slab into the mold. Gently press it down to conform to the shape, smoothing out the rim.
4. Dry: Let the clay stiffen slightly before removing it from the mold to ensure it holds its shape.

Material Notes

• The orange mold shown in the pictures was printed in PETG, but PLA works just as well for this application.
• The white dish shown is the result using earthenware clay.

Happy potting!
