To make this I offset the profile sketch by 0.88 mm outward, this enables printing a thin shell of the shape. The total shrinkage from forming to the final firing product will be about 10%, thus the 0.88 will shrink down to 0.8 mm, that is exactly double the 0.4mm width of my printhead. I rotated the .88 mm profile to create this shell. In the slicer, I shrunk each of the models by 10% to emulate clay shrinkage.

This is an ideal wall thickness to print on consumer 3D printer since to normally creates sufficient strength and prints in one two passes |
