Pottery Rib for Mugs and Cups, Pottery Throwing Rib, Ceramic Shaping Tool, 3D Printed Clay Shaper (5 INCH Height)

Product Information

About this item

• This rib is a finishing guide that will save you valuable time, whether you are producing a one-off piece or are in a production style setup.
• These ribs will help you to consistently throw the same curves, shapes and height from mug to mug.
• Our pottery tools are printed by filament with PLA. PLA is a biodegradable polymer. Filament printing leaves tiny gaps between layers.
• These ribs are available in whole 2 inch increments in height (2”-6”). Thickness on the 4 inch+ ribs is 5mm, for ribs shorter that 4” the thickness is 3-4mm.
• The 0.3mm thick horizontal printing layers allow pleasant contact with the clay. The particles align smoothly to the shape of the template. These thin layers or small printing defects can generate very slight lines on the surface of the parts but have no other impact on the functionality, resistance or ergonomics of the products.

Product Description

The rib is a finishing guide that will save you valuable time when producing mass-produced pieces on the potter's wheel. You will more easily obtain parts with the same curves and the same dimensions. You can use these clays with all types of clay, even chamotte. The orientation of the template is essential for the correct restitution of the curve. If the wringer rotates counterclockwise, the ideal placement is at 3 o'clock, perpendicular to the part and the wringer. The base of the template must be in permanent contact with the girelle during the operation. CARE: This item is NOT dishwasher safe. It is best to use cold or room temperature water with a sponge or brush to clean
