A jigger mold is about to be poured in these two 3D-printed housings. This is a demo, the plaster model of the outside shape of the bowl itself has not yet been smoothed and soaped. It will be clay-glued or screwed onto the clamping baseplate. It is held on-center using a spacer ring (shown in place here).
Top (method 1): The outside two-piece shell is clamped onto a clamping baseplate, tightly around the spacer ring. When the plaster has set this shell is removed and the bowl form drops out leaving the complete jigger mold.
Bottom (method 2): A one-piece outside shell is left in place for the service life of the mold. It wraps over the top partway (so the spacer ring is narrower).

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. |
