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 has not yet been smoothed and soaped. When that is done it will be glued onto the clamping baseplate using a sticky ball clay slip, it will be held on-center using a custom printed spacer ring. The ring is different depending on the method.
Top: The outside shell was 3D printed in two halves and it is being clamped onto a clamping baseplate, tightly against the ring. When the plaster has set this shell will be removed and the bowl form will drop out leaving the completely jigger mold.
Bottom: The outside shell was 3D printed as one piece. When the plaster has set the model will drop out but the outside PLA shell will be left in place for the service life of the mold. It wraps over the top and provides a smooth tough surface to act as a stopping for the template.

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. |
