Step by step
How it works
Step by step, to the finished piece
Choose how many grooves you want and their diameters: graduated or all the same.
Choose the groove shape and turn on the sliding lid.
Print the base and the lid: the lid runs along the rails.
Lay a small roll of clay in the groove and slide the lid back and forth.
What to watch out for
- This product doesn't use your image: everything is set from the panel.
- If the lid runs stiff, sand the rails very lightly.
What you need
Materials and tools
- A filament (FDM) 3D printer
- PLA or PETG filament
- Polymer clay or cold porcelain
- A blade to cut the cords
