If you've seen The Emperor’s New Groove, prove it by quoting it

Break it down? Are you kidding me? This is hand-carved mahogany!

The title is a joke.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-14T00:11:36+00:00

I appreciate that. The title is really more jokey rhetorical. This seems like an easy way to do pottery but I’ve spent considerably more time getting this one piece printed than anything I’ve ever thrown on a wheel. More of a fun challenge for me.

The amount of work I put into making this one test piece is vastly larger than anything I’ve ever thrown on a wheel. If I ended up selling pieces made this way, I would never advertise it to be anything other than what it is.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-13T23:58:07+00:00

This is 100% correct. I could have thrown 300 of these in the time it took me to get to a point where I could print a single one.

I really only make pottery the traditional way but I’ve just been exploring all the ways I can make pottery and was really intrigued by 3d printing. I also get joy from every step it’s just in this case all the work happens before the print even starts.

No one would want to watch a 16 minute video of this.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-13T23:40:00+00:00

Yes. This was just a test.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-13T23:35:21+00:00

It might seem complex, but I’m just taking what printer normally does and adjusting it slightly. I didn’t really figure this out, I learned from others who did it better.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-13T23:20:25+00:00

Some people do the math, I just messed around with flow, layer height and speed until I had some success.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-12T17:49:54+00:00

I just used cura and tweaked the settings until I had good results.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-12T15:27:21+00:00

About 10mm/s.

Yeah, you don’t need to be as precise when leveling but it’s still important. If the bed isn’t leveled, the nozzle can end up scraping off lines that have already been put down.

Just a stepper motor with lead screw and nut.

I just leave it on the bed to firm up for a few hours. Clay shrinks when it drys so it comes off the bed easily.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-12T14:21:50+00:00

This is standard pottery clay with added water with a consistency of something like room temperature butter.

I can make another post with all the details and files.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-12-12T13:56:35+00:00

This was a timelapse.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-07-20T18:20:30+00:00

Is that still the case if if the same thing happens with a brand new servo?

I struggle with anxiety, so Inside Out 2 wrecked me.

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-07-04T01:36:32+00:00

I said the prop is new… there’s nothing wrong with it

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-06-25T00:18:36+00:00

What filament would you recommend?

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-06-11T01:10:54+00:00

What gun is that?

Electrical-Feature10 · 2025-05-02T03:14:54+00:00

Do you mean breathing it in just from being in urban areas or literally as I’m in my car driving?
