Hello you could begin by searching a bit on internet. With keyword as “clay printing” Here I added “site: https://discourse.mcneel.com ” in order to just have images from this forum. [image] Also read that [image] Help Us Help You Grasshopper Asking question…

Is this clay print designed with one continuous curve? I am asking because I see print seam line. [Screenshot_2024-02-09-21-05-23-605_com.microsoft.emmx-edit]

You are right one seems to have 2 or 3 or 4 paths per slice and the other just one.

Quan Li is correct - that is a seam line. The vase is NOT printed in “vase mode”, which is a mode in which the printer nozzle moves in a single continuous spiral path all the way from the bottom to the top. This produces a print that has no seam, but is only one nozzle-diameter thick. For regular 3D…

[image] Birk Binnard: What’s not clear to me is why these little elliptical loops don’t droop down, but instead stick out. My guess is that the consistency of the clay is stiff enough to keep the elliptical loops in place as they are printed. exactly :+1: and also the thing that, while when …

[image] inno: it looks from the pictures that there is a single filling “standard” layer between those tentacles Good catch Inno - I hadn’t looked at the images closely enough to notice that. But I agree - it does look like there are alternating layers: one thin one and one with tentacles. (A…

[image] Birk Binnard: That’s pretty tricky business and I am not aware of any slicer that has anything like that capability. Slicers are mostly needed for filling strategies, support, perimeters offset, retraction, overhang etc… Here, most probably, it was not used a normal/common slicer, bu…

[image] Birk Binnard: It looks to me like there’s a pretty sophisticated technique for switching from a plain circle (1) to the start of some protuberances (2) to fully formed ones (3) and then back to a plain circle. Maybe this is done by reducing the nozzle speed, slowly increasing the materia…

[image] inno: the big “difference” I felt between printing Clay and Plastic, is that with Clay the extruder -usually- squeezes the clay snake that is being extruded Since all my experience has been with standard FDM plastic printers your description of how clay printers work makes sense. I’ve…

Just thought I’d add this tid bit to the convo. Changing the nozzle orientation has a large effect on the outcome. In this video I specifically aim the nozzle at the previous curve instead of directly downward vertically out of the nozzle. Inno, very well articulated on the process and its paramete…
