Pottery Sculpting Tools V2 + 18 New Clay Tools | FDM & Resin

A collection for clay and clay-like modelling materials: V2 of my six original sets, the three Set #7 ribs, and 18 NEW functional tool types in Set #8. 51 individual STL files in total. All units are millimetres; import at 100%. SET #8 — 18 NEW TOOL TYPES / 20 STL FILES - Slab rolling rails, 150 x 12 mm, heights 3/5/7 mm. Three sizes count as ONE tool type. Print two identical rails for the chosen thickness. - Eight-tooth scoring paddle for preparing joining surfaces. - Four-corner rib with nominal R2/R4/R8/R12 convex corner radii. - Tapered slip spatula for applying clay slip at joints. - Blunt plastic clay knife for soft clay, about 1.2 mm leading-tip thickness. - Ball joint smoother, R3/R5 heads. - Double-ended leaf/lancet spatula. - Dot/detail stylus with nominal 3 and 5 mm ball diameters. - V-profile rib, nominal 60/90/120 degree notches. - U-profile rib, nominal R3/R5/R8 notches. - Coil diameter gauge, nominal 6/8/10/12 mm openings. - Open-slot slab thickness gauge, nominal 3/5/7/10 mm. - Handle cross-section template: 12x6 oval, 10x5 rounded rectangle, 8x8 rounded square. - 90-degree corner smoother, 70 mm working length. - Straight 100 mm compression rib for flat surfaces and transitions. - Rim compression fork with nominal 4 mm slot. - Wire-cutter grip. Print twice; wire and a secure fixing are supplied by the user. - Nominal 45-degree mitre guide, 90 mm working length; a guide, not a cutting blade.

Each type has an individual model preview. The overview numbers match catalog.json. README_SET8_DE.md contains German usage and print instructions. PREVIOUS SETS INCLUDED - Set #1: 15 separate flat profile forms with lighter meshes. - Set #2: 3 flat tools, 5 mm hanging holes, nominal 0.45 mm eased edges. - Set #3: 2 tools with tapered 10x8 mm grip sections, working heads retained apart from mesh simplification. - Set #4: 3 tools with tapered 14x12 mm grip sections, loops/tips retained apart from mesh simplification. - Set #5: 2 repaired finger tools enlarged 150% in their working plane, nominal thickness 10 mm; working radii also grow. - Set #6: 2 original-size tools with nominal 0.3 mm edge easing, plus a proportional 150 mm version of the 200 mm tool. - Set #7: kidney rib, corner/profile rib and nominal 5 mm pitch texture comb.

FDM STARTING SETTINGS — 0.4 MM NOZZLE 0.20 mm layers, 4 walls, 5 top/bottom layers. PETG starting material or PLA for geometry trials. Small working heads, gauges and wire grips: 100% infill; larger grips: 40–50% gyroid initially. Calibrated filament temperatures. Set #8 types 06 and 08 need local supports in the supplied orientation. The 16 other new types have broad/flat bed contact and normally need no supports; inspect lower bevels and holes in your slicer. Previous Sets #3/#4 need local supports under their elevated heads. The spatial 118 mm #6 tool needs an orientation/support check. RESIN STARTING SETTINGS Tough/durable engineering resin; 0.05 mm starting layers and calibrated manufacturer exposure. Initially tilt broad faces about 25–40 degrees; check islands, support non-working faces, print solid. Wash and fully cure per resin instructions. No universal exposure time. MEASUREMENT Gauge and profile dimensions are nominal CAD values. Check printed slots, holes, rail heights and radii using a caliper/reference piece before relying on them. Small edge easing affects the outer-face transitions. These gauges are for checking, not pressure extrusion. Remove burrs/support marks, smooth working edges and test on scrap clay. Not for prying, fired ceramics or certified food contact. Fine stylus necks require light pressure; verify wire fixing and grip strength before use.
