Like most things, the best way to learn how to design for 3D printing construction is by making mistakes...lots of them.

Design -> Print -> Redesign -> Print -> Redesign -> Print...
Fortunately, clay is 100% reusable before it's fired, so the prototyping process is virtually free.

The wall elements above, designed by for her Masters thesis, serve as a good example of the feedback a designer can expect when optimizing a 3D model for printing.
These are screenshots of our WhatsApp communication 😅.

Finally, after implementing all our small design change requests like "leave a gap here" or "make this red overhang smaller" or "add a wing her for stability," we settled on a design and could successfully print 7 blocks in one day.

Now we know for next time !

Thanks Ruduan Joubert for capturing the essence of what we do at the workshops!

Catch the next one in Centurion 🔥

Congratulations to our colleague and friend, or her new book "Let's Clay 3D Print! A Guidebook" 🔥🔥
It's available on Amazon.com

A word from Hendrien: "This project has spanned over two years, and I am so excited to share it! When I started my own journey into clay 3D printing, I really struggled to put all of the information together, and having it make sense. This book will give any beginner clay maker a kickstart with valuable tips and resources. The book features many of those who had an impact on the growth of this industry, from pioneers and experts to artists and makers. Many of the featured guests inspired me when I started out in the industry many years ago - and I hope they do the same for you! For more info, please check out my website www.hendrienhorn.com
