Description
3D Printed Clay Press Mold for Mugs (Ø ~80 mm)
This 3D printed outer mold is suitable for quickly and uniformly shaping clay mugs. The clay is pressed into the mold and conforms to the inner geometry. This allows for the production of mugs with reproducible size and shape.
Features:
- Suitable for mugs with approximately 80 mm diameter and approx. 80 mm height
- Cylindrical inner shape for a uniform mug shape
- Slightly rounded transition to the bottom for a clean inner contour
- Stable and durable – ideal for beginners, home use, or practice pieces
Application:
- Prepare a clay slab of uniform thickness.
- Press the clay into the mold and spread it evenly against the inner wall.
- Shape and smooth the bottom and wall thickness as desired.
- Allow the clay to dry slightly until it is stable enough.
- Carefully release the mug from the mold.
Print Recommendations:
- Material: PLA, PETG or similar
- Layer height: 0.2 mm
- Infill: 10–20 %
- no supports
- For a particularly smooth surface, the mold can be lightly sanded after printing.
💡 Tip: A thin layer of cling film, nylon tights (tip from my wife 😉), cornstarch, or some water can help release the clay from the mold more easily later.
The mold is deliberately designed to be simple and robust, so that it can be printed without problems and functions reliably in everyday ceramics. Have fun potting! 🏺
