3D printed ceramic espresso cup
Donation protected
Espresso coffee is rocket fuel!
It cranks you up and puts you in orbit!, that's why I'm honoring your espresso coffee with this 3D printed ceramic rocket cup. I specifically build a 3D printer for this project ,I've spent countless hours working building the printer, the clay extruder and designing different styles of cups .
Building the extruder to feed the printer head with porcelain was a tremendous challenge, hours and hours of design and playing with different porcelain formulations suitable to work with the extruder took about the 80% of the time invested to complete this project.
But it finally worked! unfortunately I cannot proceed further with my project, for those familiarized with pottery will know that clay needs to be fired in a kiln (which I don't have,very expensive) in order to cure it and glaze it to beautify it and make it durable.
I consume all my budget building the printer, the porcelain extruder (I use the same printer to make the plastic parts for the extruder) and all the clay I used to print a decent model.
That's why I'm asking for your generous help to complete this project, the goal is to open a website where I'll be offering 3D printed ceramic cups to the public. If I succeed in this campaign I will use your funds to totally complete my "espresso rocket cup", enhance my homemade printer or buy another one so I can design more complex cups that I have in mind.
Any contribution that you can make according with your budget to support this campaign (one?,three? or five dollars)? will be tremendously appreciated, I will honor you in my facebook group "3D Ideas" which I invite you to visit any time you like and in my future webpage.Stay tuned and thanks for your attention.
