What's this about grog? -
This is the sodium silicate technique?

And people complain about a 30 dollar handmade cup. Go figure. -
You made these? Are they 1/4" plexiglass? looks good. -
From the album: 3D printer
Unfortunately Gearbest does not send written instructions. You need to watch a YouTube video. So this is partly why it takes time. Had to screen print the parts list so that I could check off my parts to make sure I had everything. I like putting things together and taking things apart so this is fun for me. You can buy it preassembled but it will cost you twice as much. I paid about $180 with shipping. It comes with a sample of the plastic coil to make a 3D object. So I will have to order a spool. That will give me a lot more to work with in creating my own custom stamps for about 32 $50. Wish me luck and ask any questions you have and I'll try to answer them. -

More parts to go will probably take another four five maybe six hours. -

I finally received my 3D printer from China. Started to assemble the Mainframe. This took about 3 hours. -
Ordered a 3D printer kit. So I will assemble it and make a clay stamp. Probably take about a week to get it.

My son bought a broken one at the DAV and fixed it. Wore it out and fixed it again. Then it was broken in a move and he had to fix it again. They took it to the remote island they live on so they can print our anything they need.

Smart kid.

3d printers are so awesome. My son wants one so bad. Hope it goes well for your mark.

Can't wait to see the fired piece. Are you going to clear glaze? -
Good job. It looks really nice. -
Back to the drawing board. I fired a kiln to ^6 with a pyro barin my sitter. New sitter, new everything, except infinite switches (no long can get), but it never got there. Brand new elements. It was firing fine till last nite. It's still cooling. Going to fire in my small kiln to finish an order. And work on the big kiln. I will fix it or try basket weaving in my padded room.

Yup. I just wonder if the weather had anything to do with it. We had some very heavy downpours Saturday when I was firing. No lighting. the barometric pressure was at 30.30. The humidity at 84%. Guess it could be that my kiln was, a bit under the weather, LOL.
I fired the small kiln today @^6 and it went well. Nice day. I am going to fire another load in the big kiln tomorrow ^6. small load. If it doesn't go well I am going to check all my wiring.

I will only fire bisque ware in my dad's big kiln. It has too many hot and cold spots. Sometimes there has been a four-cone variation between the top and bottom shelf. Too unpredictable. So I fire many small glaze loads.

Oh yeah. I am loving it. I had this in mind to do one day. I just started using porcelain. Well I have a bag. But I am going to get some Laguna Frost, as recommended by a friend. I only fire to ^6. Is this ^10+? Thank you for sharing. I really love them. -
I love the form and color. It works for me. Nice work. -
I feel like I'm out in space looking down on Earth. Just beautiful. -
Small Bowl with lotus petals and chattering band

You are too kind. I appreciate all your encouragement and kindness. You are a wonderful person. Thank you my friend. And you are a keen observer. I love my foot ring. It gets overlooked. It's as important as any part of the pot. I feel I am getting better, but only since I joined PC. So many good people. Thanks Glazenerd. -
Small Bowl with lotus petals and chattering band
Marko commented on Marko's gallery image in Browse Member Galleries
No. I made the chattering during the trimming. I used a homemade tool from a hacksaw blade. bent at a 90° angle. First two grooves and then chattering in the middle. After bisquing ^04, I glazed and waxed, then dipped in my white glaze. Does this answer your question? -
