Wanted: Printed Mug Handle

  For ceramic, maybe see if someone can do a kintsugi fix for it instead of 3D printing?

    thanks for the suggestion

      Was gonna say the same. You can pick up kintsugi kits with gold resin from most hobby stores now. Practice on some shitty pots first because it takes some tries to get it right.

  If you still have the original pieces, you’re better off using some epoxy imo.

    Superglue to the rescue! Ok thanks

      Not sure how well super glue will work, but if it specifically says ceramics on it you’re probably fine. I have like 3 mugs and a bowl all held together with a quick-set epoxy.

      Shortly after it sets, use a wet paper towel to clear away some of the excess adhesive. It’ll make the joint look nice and clean when it cures, and it will be very difficult to clean up after curing.

      If you have all the pieces still and they’re not broken into tiny pieces then superglue would be your best bet. Get some that is good for ceramic and have a bottle with a fine tip. I just bought some cheap Amazon stuff to do some ceramic repair. Unlike the smooth outside of the cup, the surface of the cracked pieces are rough and porus and makes a great surface for gluing.

  I have no confidence it will work or last. I’m not committing to anything either, but at a minimum I need the flattest image possible, meaning a square lens to object from a distance where perspective distortion is minimized. The largest camera sensor (silicon die) will produce the flattest image with less perspective distortion. Each image must contain a known measurement, such as a little machinist’s ruler or other. The point here is that the lines of known measurement must be as close to single pixel accurate as possible. I will not take the time to straiten or correct for errors, - if I have the time and feel like making something. The result will likely be ugly and might not work or last. I need to know the angles and sizes of those protrusions to utilize them like a dovetail. I do not trust anyone’s measurements, especially my own, and I have no desire to dial you up for the ‘measure thrice print twice, measure once unfinished dunce’ - rule. I need the Cartesian planes of X, Y, and Z, (right, front, top) at a minimum.

  I probably do not have time within my project, but if I’m bored and waiting on a long print, maybe.

    This made me laugh out loud, thank you for that haha - Honestly I was just going to ship it to someone, but all of the feedback is telling me printing is not the right fit for this; thank you for thinking about it!

  It’s hard to design something that’ll fit cleanly with the existing break. It’s not impossible, but I think it’d be easier to replace the mug with an identical one.

    Not possible, but thank you!

  Other idea: remove the remaining handle parts and enjoy the fully round cup.
