  1. Hi guys, I have an idea about clay printer, and try it at home. I find the clay is fun and cheap because I can reuse the material :>

    But I find a Kickstart project named CLAYXYZ, it combines reusable material & ceramic to one machine when I search the internet. I was so excited, someone has built a great machine. The cool thing is the printing artwork is sooo coool, have a look.

    Here is link

    Very good idea ! I had planned to tinker a machine on this but did not have the necessary hardware. I am very interested.
    This would allow me to directly produce my prototypes like this: http://shpws.me/O54c

  3. Cool. According to their description, I think the first structure can work out. This structure without overhang is pretty easy to print. The color on the outside should be glaze, making the model amazing.

    As for the second prototype, owing to the specialty of clay, I think it’s hard to print if there isn’t a support structure.

    However, I have watched a video that ClayXYZ was printing a Buddha. They used the support structure during the print process. Pretty smart. You can check their website and ask them. Maybe you can get what you want.

    Really love the first one! Awesome.
