Ceramic 3D Prints

Great!
had not yet realized that 3D printing also works with ceramic material
and your "fancy e-cigs" close ups I have first mistaken for dentist drills
What does "traditionally slip cast" mean? -

Oli / Cotty, do you guys have a YouTube channel? would love to see how you get such good results from SDS / Artisan... [I assume]
I do have a youtube channel, but no Artisan examples there (yet). But I and others hae uploaded a lot of examples (proxy geometry and results) in this topic: http://sketchucation.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=335%26amp;t=42938

Thanks mate! That's right you do!!

I do have youtube stuff but its really old and nothing to do with Artisan really.
Yes this was all made completely inside SU using only the Artisan plugin and TIG's Split Donut.
Cotty's Artisan thread has every bit of info you need really, just stick to quads if possible and avoid too many poles and n-gons. Subdivision modelling takes some patience to get accurate shapes but it does work. Some trial and error involved.....but thom thom's Sub-D plugin should eliminate the guess work in the future as it's non-destructive.

What does "traditionally slip cast" mean?Thanks mate! Slip Casting is a traditional manufacturing technique for casting ceramic shapes. It involves the use of a silicone mould and the ceramic is forced into this mould. The problem is; you can not achieve these shapes with traditional techniques; it would be impossible to remove the mould. All angles would have to be 45 degree fillets to allow the mould to be pulled off.
Essentially, these can only ever be 3D printed. Which is cool....but quite expensive. You can't achieve these tight radii any other way basically.

Cheers Oli.... I'll try spend some time sifting through.

I think there is a market for these Oli! I can see these sitting on a bedside table displaying all sorts of battery powered devices!

If you need any specific help please do not hesitate to message me or point me towards one of your threads. I really don't mind helping people out. Subdivision modelling is extremely fun. Yes I did just say that. FML.

lol you're filth Richard!
But yes there is a market i'm being inundated with messages but I have to sell them on pre-order because the lead time for printing is 5 weeks at the moment!
I've had a few shops email me too which is nice.I got banned from a facebook group for advertising....then the admin messaged me asking for a bulk price on all the stands. No need to say I told them where to go!!!

Your mind's never too far from the gutter, Rich.
