This assembly is the bottom half of a 3D printed 0.8mm wall thickness PLA mold. Until now I have super glued a thin disk onto the bottom, but a plaster pour again woke me up to how much outward pressure the heavy slurry exerts on molds tasked to contain it - the glue failed! This time I am doing a "belt and suspenders" solution. This bottom disk is much thicker and stronger and it is removable. These paper clamps hold it onto the flange and are recessed so the whole thing can sit flat-side down on the table.
