Tea Bowl

thingiverse

A reproduction of a "tea bowl" is being created for an exhibition by the same person who made a spoon. The bowl isn't claimed to be water-tight, but it has no holes and a manifold mesh. It measures 150mm in diameter and 75mm in height. The unique feature of this design is that the edges on the bottom hang over at more than 45 degrees. This was possible due to the circular object's existing edges being wrapped by the nozzle with extruded filament as it orbits. Credit goes to Bronwyn Holloway-Smith and Vik Olliver, licensed under CC-BY-SA. To print this bowl, use a 0.8mm wide extrusion width and 0.5mm layers or thinner. Disable hopping and homing due to the thin walls; increasing thickness may be necessary. If redoing the bowl from the original curve, rotate it in 64 segments on the Y-axis with a radius of 0. It doesn't scale well but can be truncated for alternative designs.
