Oct 22, 2026: We are working on protecting our servers against the PHP2Shell vulnerability recently discovered. Servers were upgraded ahead of schedule on Oct 21. This could cause some issues. Please contact us if you encounter any.
I 3D printed it using PLA and poured it full of plaster. When the plaster set I peeled the printed shell off. The plaster part is the drape-mold around which the mugs can be formed (according to how the cookie cutter works I will change the size or either this to that). The surface roughness on the plaster was easy to remove using a metal scraper, then sand paper. I normally name 3D prints of this like this: TopDia-BottomDia-Height (making this one 94-66-110). But in this case, I want to maintain the same draft angle (8 degrees), so this is named 66-8-110 (BottomDia-Angle-Height). On first use with my 45-25-108 cutter it was evident that this form is too small. It needs 10mm more of height and 4mm more diameter (so I adjusted it to 70-8-120).
