Digitalfire is facing a takedown order from Plainsman Clays. They are revoking permission to "use any Plainsman content" "on any platform". This is broad and vague enough, and this site large enough, that I am unable to comply or even interpret it in the short timeframe (June 27). Insight-live.com general operation is not affected by this.
This mold is for a Medalta Potteries ball pitcher having a closed top with a teardrop-shaped spout (lower right). 3D printing makes it possible to create a pour spout that inserts perfectly into the angled hole, thus the plaster mold itself does not need a spare. The size of the pour spout reservoir and the degree of insert can tuned so that when the level drops to the bottom it is ready to pour and the pour hole is perfectly formed.

Pour Spout
Plaster molds intended for slip casting have a spare at the top to act as a reservoir. This enables overfilling the mold to accommodate the dropping slurry level. 3D-printed spouts make a spare unnecessary. |
