Clay 2 PLA Project - Clay Cup

Example of Clay 2 PLA middle school project.

Student create an object by hand in clay with tolerances and 3D printer limitations in mind.

The objects are then scanned using a Makerbot Digitizer and mass produced using a Makerbot Replicator 2

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.
