<p>Example of Clay 2 PLA middle school project.</p> <p>Student create an object by hand in clay with tolerances and 3D printer limitations in mind.</p> <p>The objects are then scanned using a Makerbot Digitizer and mass produced using a Makerbot Replicator 2</p> <p><strong>This is an example of a clay cup created using lowfire white clay and glazed with food safe colors. The Digitizer still has a problem with cup openings (as seen in the original scan file) so the STL was imported into TinkerCad where a cylinder was used to hollow out the cup part and a cube was used to flatten the bottom for easier printing.</strong></p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Category: Scans &amp; Replicas Instructions</h3> <p>2 pass scan on digitizer. First pass was cup sitting upright. Second scan was cup on its side.</p> <p>Printed at 2mm layer height with supports. May be able to print without supports but didn't want to risk it.</p> <p>Technically Makerbot PLA is FDA foodsafe so I guess you could drink from this. I will be using it as a crayon holder.</p> <p>Enjoy!!</p>
