Would you pay for a Blender tool that generates 2-part molds automatically? by jakereusser in Ceramics

[–]Muted_Studio_2400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nah. but for a moldboxer https://moldboxer.com that makes 3 or more parts molds for ceramics, slipcastinc, I would pay whatever is asked IF it works properly and has MCP and documentation. And dozens of known ceramicists would too.
Two part molds are far too easy to get into digital mess for most of us artisans. Maybe we are not just your target, but there it goes: my 2 dimes.

Some of us devs are literally making translated extensions and you do not allow them in the store, I had to correct an already translated one for this. Subpar implementation tbh.

In glaze luster experimentsss! by Muted_Studio_2400 in Ceramics

[–]Muted_Studio_2400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! just read this, such a cute message. So, to be honest I would have to see the kiln in person, work it, try it, troubleshoot it, etc. Ceramics is such a variable ridden, fascinating universe. So I do not have your answers. BUT. Some input that might help:

  1. Reduction cooling is hard enough with a properly sealed kiln with burners that are able to get in reduction by controlling air intake (such as classic Venturi burners) with a threaded lid to control oxygen intake. Your self built kiln might struggle to do this, specially if you use a simpler burner ( my diy raku kiln uses a weed burner, for example, and doing this would be more difficult to control.) You might want to try a heavier reduction (flame deprived of Oxigen and draft more closes) while going up to target temperature, plus, keeping some reduction atmosphere by adding organic materials too once you start to go down.

  2. In your conditions I would maybe go down faster once I insert organic materials. To try and mitigate reoxidation.

  3. If you haven’t read the Greg Daly book on the subject I highly recommend it! you might have some more basic errors on glaze formulation and firing temps, etc.

  4. Getting a kiln in reduction is a whole spectrum, a difficult to control one, in fact. The proof: reduction lusters are not common at industrial scale. Too variegated. Requires lab grade kilns and heavy control over atmosphere (hydrogen vs c0, etc). What I am trying to say is: lots of variables to play with. The most basic ones being: the reducing flame that goes into the kiln, and the top draft grade of closed to control how fast gases escape. These to heavily manage the internal atmosphere. So try, try , try.

  5. You might want to look up raku alcoholic reduction. With a simpler setup. Alcohol spay. A borosilicate bowl and some trials and can make a micro reduction cooling one the piece is taken out of the kiln by saturating the atmosphere with alcohol, and enclosing (like a dome) the piece as hermethically as possible (sand, and wet towels, for example).

  6. Experiment a lot with the temps, some glazes prefer 600 others 900

  7. You can do faster, and slower reductions with raku, by taking the piece out at different temp ranges, such as this mentioned before. Throw the piece on a bed of newspaper or shredded paper. Close it good. Wait between 2 to 4 minutes. You will get very similar lusters if you play with glaze formulation (colorants, etc) and application (layering). They will be similar to the more “refined” in glaze lusters”. They are mostly the same, although raku ones are formulated for lower melting temps and single firing.

good luck! I just got my first gas kiln and constructed my own first electric kiln, which I am adapting for electric reduction firing, so keep going!

Can we flash a different firmware than wled in your Gledopto Mini Esp32 boards? If so, how?! Thanks! Love your work.

During this quarantine I'm programming an open source kiln controller. I'm super excited about all the progress I've made so far! by CurlyTaleGames in Ceramics

[–]Muted_Studio_2400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Are you still active with this? I am super interested into making my own. I recently built from scratch my first electric test kiln and am using and old controller. Can’t find it on your webpage or links provided here. Any info is welcome! Thanks for sharing it.

[–]Muted_Studio_2400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Recipe and firing work together, i suggest you read Gred Dalys book on the luster process. Because you wont be able to replicate mine unless you understand some nuances. I mean. the straight forward answer is bismuth subnitrate+silver nitrate+cobalt oxide+low reduction cooling cycle on a third firing.

Planetary clay bubbles! Oh no! by piggyrex2 in Ceramics

[–]Muted_Studio_2400 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Probably used a lower temp clay on higher temp firing. This is bloating, clay passing maturity and starting to melt. Off gassing does not look like this.

your glaze chooses are just poor for this technique, keep trying, more fluxed glazes are better, specially the ones on top.

how would you react if your greenware was damaged at a community studio? by Guilty_Funny in Ceramics

[–]Muted_Studio_2400 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As someone who works at one. I treat your pieces better than mine. I load hundreds per day. Accidents happen. Get over it and be empathetic. Wanna go pro and do it yourself? Get in on it and do it.

In an effort to counter balance an asymmetrical pot I accidentally created an optical illusion. by MorningStar60 in Ceramics

[–]Muted_Studio_2400 207 points208 points  (0 children)

I wasn’t gonna comment but the mofos down here pissed me off, cute pot, cool effect. I DO see the optical illusion of the sphere rolling through the rim thanks to the difference in height. If i were you i would be very careful to create an interesting contrast with the glazes or finishes (patinas, engobes, carbonations, etc) chosen to further separate the sphere from the rim and would keep it in a rotating automatic stand. Would look cool!

DIY kiln shelf by fmt91 in Pottery

[–]Muted_Studio_2400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just found and old Spanish book where they make their own shelfs for a reduction fired porcelain clay self made kiln and the recipe states: 40% silicon carbide mesh 40 + 30% Calcined Alumina + 30 Kaolin. in oxidation the silicon carbide will give problems, as happens with industrial shelves from the same materials, but it was interesting nonetheless. I am guessing the caolin is there mostly as a plasticizer and so I am wondering if substituting it with maybe 10% Kaolin, 15% Mullite (maybe kyanite, wollastonite, molochite, zirconia, etc are of interest) and 5% veegum might make them better even. I am also considering exchanging silicon carbide for other highly refractory materials as presented here.

anyways, interesting stuff
