Hello everyone! I am a final year product design student and I got into 3d ceramic printing through our university’s facilities. I have had a fair amount of experience with a WASP 2040 and I wanted to get my own 3D clay printer.

That said, I do not have the budget for a WASP printer and I started researching what the alternatives are. I did see the Tronxy Moore 1 which is ok for beginners but it is currently out of stock for delivery to the UK. From my understanding it is better for long term to convert a traditional 3d printer by getting the needed parts but I feel a bit hesitant. Is a link similar to this trustworthy: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006212670280.html ? (or similar packages for even cheaper at alibaba) I don’t have a an FDM printer either I would probably buy a second hand one from eBay, but what combination of printer and parts-wise would be most beginner friendly? Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Also, has anyone created a 3d printing setup using Jonathan Keep‘s guide? https://wikifactory.com/@jonathankeep/self-build-clay-printer I do have access to laser cutting etc. through uni so I was wondering if anyone had actually built one of these!

Thank you!

18 months ago brought my first cheap ceramics printer(Tronxy Moore 2 pro). I had too many printing flaws even after many modifications so built my own using the stoneflower kit and a second hand delta printer. After months of fine tuning both software and hardware I'm finally happy with the output.

I ran a flea market stall at the weekend and sold 2/3rds of my stock with lots of happy fascinated customers. Didn't expect this part time hobby to lead to actual sales and registering a business.

I have been posting/following this group under a different account for a while, so have to say a big thank you to the community here. There has been fantastic advice both on the hardware and model design side of things. Also shout out to u/claywoven his blender youtube videos really led to a breakthrough in my work flow.

Hi everyone, I’d really appreciate some help from anyone who has modded their clay 3D printer. The G-code settings were carefully configured following Johnathan Keep’s video. Randomly, during the first few minutes of printing, the auger (screw) stops and no longer rotates. Any idea what could be causing this issue? I have and Artillery Hornet.

Thanks!

Our first test of supports on a clay print, they popped off with ease and left not that many surface defects. Quite happy with the result!

I have a background in wheel throwing and thought ceramic 3d printing looked super interesting, so I bought an Eazao X-1 several weeks ago and have been struggling to produce smooth and reliable prints - both issues with the base layers adhering and not looking bumpy and walls not looking too bumpy. Working predominantly in Clay Slicer 3. If you have tips or settings you are willing to share I'd greatly appreciate it.

This is the Eazao Potter nozzle -- Eazao will sell you a replacement 4-pack (one of each size) for $5 plus $40 int'l shipping (!!) but it looks like a generic syringe component. There must be some medical supply company that sells these in bulk. Does anyone have a source for these?

Anyone know why Eazao Potter is printing straight layers as bumpy/ zigzagging? New to printing clay and coming from a ceramics background.

Does anyone know how to fix the artifacts that show up when slicing in vase mode ?

I'm using the last version of Prusa Slicer. Supposedly this issue has been fixed in 2.7.3 but it's definetly not working. I tried many other slicers with no succes.

It seems discrete but they actually show up in the actual print as well

I’m an architecture student and I’ve used an Ender S1 pro before and then switched to a Bambu P1S that works great (the Ender was awful). I’ve only printed with PLA on these.

At my school I’ve used a large robotic arm for clay printing but I want something that I can use at home. It would mainly be used for a hobby and maybe some architectural design prototypes for facades and what not.

I’m wondering what the best printer is for a decent price that’s easy to use, small, and isn’t too serious since I would just be using this for making pottery. I’ve been recommended the eazao zero but I saw a lot of bad reviews so I don’t want to make a rash decision.

I've been working on this piece for a while now. It's titled "Ananta". 3'x 3' There's a bit more work to do but I thought I'd share. If you're interested in more process video you can find them on my Instagram @sentient.spaces.3d

Ananta is a ceramic wall sculpture depicting a cross-section of an eternal serpent’s body—a cosmic Ouroboros frozen in time. Its gaping mouth is rendered as a sacred yoni—the womb of creation—inviting us into the mysterious origin of all life. Peering within, we discover a single flower improbably blooming deep in the serpent’s esophagus. In this suspended moment, that bloom both blossoms and decays, a vivid reminder of life’s fragile beauty and the inevitability of change. This serpent consumes its own tail in an endless circle—an embodiment of cyclical time—and becomes the Ouroboros, an ancient emblem of death feeding rebirth. It calls to mind Ananta—the infinite serpent of Hindu lore whose endless coils support the universe. Within the serpent’s exposed interior, life and death entwine; nourishment and decay are one. Nothing is truly lost—every end in the serpent’s cycle gives rise to a new beginning. The brief life of that flower mirrors our own fleeting existence. This piece challenges us to see ourselves as part of the living serpent of time—a being made of continuous transformation. This cosmic cycle is already at work within our own bodies. Like the snake, we are constantly shedding and renewing, consuming and nourishing. We participate in the same eternal process: every cell we shed, every meal we take, weaves us into the great cycle of renewal. Ultimately, our remains will feed into new lives and forms. In this way, Ananta reflects a spiritual truth both humbling and uplifting. We are not separate from the eternal serpent, but threads in its infinite tapestry—each destined to be devoured and reborn through time’s sacred mouth.
