So cool!
How did you go about learning this / can you recommend a tutorial for me?
Thanks.

From the software side, this is everything you need to start programming…

On the machine side 3D potter makes the easiest to get started machines, though they are expensive. There are also viable DIY approaches if you dig into the web.

I would say the code is about 30-35% of the input. Maybe even less as the mechanical aspects, getting to know the clay and how it performs, and getting it fired account for a lot of this craft. I’m only a couple years in but I have been attacking it daily for that time. Best of luck and if you ever make some models you are interested in seeing printed in clay, send me a line and we can chat about making it happen. Cheers!

Thanks! I was asking because I may be doing a internship with my universities architectural robotics research development lab (@RDFlabFIU on Insta) and I would love to join them with some knowledge in my belt. I’ll let you know if I end up trying this out!
