CUPS

Six months ago we did a project for HEMA. Unfortunately, Corona never gave us the chance to actually make our design. I moved on to where we left off to make the cups real from stoneware.

2 piece mould that I can cast in 1 time out of plaster.

CURA SETTINGS 

layer Height: 0.28
Bottom layers: 0
temp: 180
build plate temp: 60
print speed: 80


Print seems a little clay-like. Maybe the temperature down or speed up.

Brim is a must in this case!
material didn't warp

HOW DO I MAKE SURE THAT I CAN EASILY REMOVE THIS CUP FROM THE MOULD?

Material ran out during printing.

and print came loose from the print bed.

were still some problems with separating the 3D printed form. maybe consider making a 3 parted mold after all. After a of hammering I managed to get the shape out.

There is still a small crack in the mould.

CASTING CUPS WITH STONEWARE

I poured the cups out of stoneware this is material that is a bit sturdier and shockproof than pottery because you bake it at higher temperatures.

2 the cup already looked better

with the 3rd cup I was satisfied

took everything home to continue casting there

if I'd had more time...
I had gone further into firing and glazing the cups so that I could actually start using them.

I had also made a second mould in which I would like to use another technique which I think would give a nicer end result and I wouldn't have a crack in my mould.
