I recently designed a set of ancient Greek vessels for a small academic project. Turns out they work beautifully as flower vases, water containers, watering can, flower pots, and yes, they make ultra stylish egg cups.
Here the one we use as our new egg cups:
- A Bell Crater, a vessel used in Ancient Greece for the mixing wine with water
FILAMENT. I once again used this Terracotta StoneFil PLA Filament, which they claim contains 50%(!) powdered stone filling, is pretty heavy and creates a matte, slightly stonish surface so looks and feels almost like real terracotta. Plus the printed layers create a look that closely resembles the surface of clay formed on a potter's wheel.
PRINTING. Turns out this filament is surprisingly easy to print but requires somewhat higher printing temperatures than ordinary PLA (I use 220-230°C). Use thick (around 0.2mm) layers to create a surface structure similar to that created on a potter's wheel, 30-100% infill depending on how heavy you want it to be
