These three plaster mold pieces were made manually by carving the original and casting each of these from that using clay, soap, cottle boards and clamps. Then negatives of each of these were cast using PMC-746 rubber. Plaster is then poured into each to make these working molds. This heavy mold was useful to produce large numbers of testers. But for a potter, hobbyist or educator it was serious overkill. Our new 3D printed version requires no clay, soap, cottle boards, clamps or even the third piece - just pour plaster into two 3D-printed shells.
