1 The original drawing in Fusion 360 (aluminum cuphead, jigger mold with bowl-outside profile, bowl mold, jigger mold case and jigger template).
2 The original bowl purchased at Ikea alongside the 3D printed shell of its outside contours (12% bigger).
3 The plaster model of the outside shape (created from the shell mold).
4 Printing a pair circular rails (with flanges for clamping).
5 The rail assembly (clamped, glued and soaped) ready for use to pour working mold.
6 The model soaped and glued to an Arborite bat (using sticky clay). The rail assembly glued down.
7 The light-bulb moment of realizing the rails - from #4, #5, #6; are not even need! I now print them as one unit, one for each mold I make.
8 The finished working mold (with amazing PLA printed outer surface).
9 The jigger mold inserted into the cuphead is ready for use.

A cereal bowl jigger mold made using 3D printing
A new way to 3D-print your way to making jigger molds and templates. The molds are encased in a 3D printed shell that makes them fit perfectly into the cuphead. And the template is precise and very effectivwe. |
