Winnie asked me about a Ceramics/3D Printing crossover class at Asmbly. The idea would be that ceramicists could print a “Maker’s Mark” stamp, which they can use to “sign” their pieces. I’ve worked up a basic process. I was hoping we could include enough content to check someone out on the resin printers, but the consensus is that no, people should take the resin class. I’m trying to get my ACC classmates to run through the material to test drive it, since our next few projects are clay-based.

I’ve figured out some better techniques for putting text/logos on things in Fusion (emboss, not extrude!). I also got frustrated with the number of turns I had to make to screw on the top of my angle grinder holder, so I learned how to make custom threads. After a few tries, I got a nice 6 start thread, so I don’t need to turn more than 60 degrees to get it to catch.

The new thread version is up on Thingiverse.
