Banding wheel top (250 mm)
A 250 mm heavy-duty banding wheel top that runs on a 6202Z bearing, ribbed underneath and hollow so you can fill it for extra weight.

Tools I design
6 parametric, 3D-printable tools I designed for clay work. Each one carries a link to its model on MakerWorld.
Everything here is parametric: one file covers a range of sizes and clay shrinkage rates, instead of a single fixed object. Between them they cover the bench, slab work and shrinkage measurement, and cutting templates.
These are studio tools rather than products, and the names and groupings change as the designs do.
Studio tools
1 tool
Slab & measurement
4 tools
Slab thickness guides (metric)
Dovetail-chained strips that hold the rolling pin at a set height, so every slab comes off the bench at the same thickness. This is the millimeter set.
Slab thickness guides (imperial)
The same chained strips with the thickness entered as an inch fraction, so you can roll to 1/4", 3/8" or 1/2" without converting to millimeters first.
Shrinkage ruler
A double-sided ruler: true inches against shrink-scaled inches on one face, centimeters on the other, so measuring a wet piece tells you its fired size. Dovetail segments print to whatever length the bench needs.
Parametric shrinkage caliper
A pivoting caliper that converts a wet measurement into the fired size for your clay's shrinkage, generated from a single parametric file.
Cutters & templates
1 tool
Wall plate templates
Cutting templates for electrical wall plates, from one gang up to six, for toggle, duplex, rocker or blank devices, scaled for shrinkage.
