3D Printing and Production Details

• Printer Type: Binder Jetting or Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) with ceramic filament
• Material: Food-Safe Ceramic-Infused PLA Filament (for FDM) or Alumina-based Powder (for Binder Jetting)
• Layer Height: 0.12 mm for high detail resolution
• Infill: 100% (Solid) for maximum durability and heat retention
• Supports: Required for the underside of the dome and handle attachment points
• Post-Processing:
  1. Sanding: The raw print is sanded to achieve a smooth, uniform surface, removing any layer lines.
  2. Firing (for ceramic): The sanded ceramic part is fired at high temperatures to vitrify the material, creating a durable, non-porous structure.
  3. Glazing: A food-safe, glossy white glaze is applied to the exterior and interior surfaces. This is followed by a second firing to fuse the glaze to the ceramic.
  4. Painting: The iconic blue, black, and silver details are painted on by hand or using a decal process, then a final clear protective coat is applied to preserve the design.
• Estimated Print Time: 10-12 hours per unit (before post-processing)
