3D Printable Casting Tool for Ridged Mug - Plaster and Resin
Produce unique, barrel-style coffee mugs or create flawless master models with this professional-grade Split Cup Mold system. This highly engineered asset features a mug design with distinctive horizontal bands and a sleek curved handle.
Designed for precision, the multi-part casting tool includes a solid base plate equipped with perfectly toleranced hemispherical registration keys (alignment domes) to ensure the two side mold halves lock together flawlessly without shifting.
Whether you are 3D printing this for resin/plaster casting, using it as a master for silicone mold making, or CNC machining a durable production mold out of tooling board, these high-quality CAD files provide exactly what you need.
Key Features:
Unique Banded Design: Features a stylish barrel-like silhouette with distinct horizontal ridges and an ergonomic handle.
Precision Split Mold System: Designed as a 2-part block mold with an interlocking base plate to prevent leaking and shifting during the casting process.
NURBS Precision: Created natively in Plasticity. The included STEP file ensures flawless, mathematically perfect curved surfaces for CNC machining, completely free of low-poly mesh faceting.
Versatile Manufacturing: Ideal for casting resin, plaster, jesmonite, concrete, or serving as a master for ceramic slip-casting workflows.
Included File Formats:
STL: High-resolution meshes, ready to slice and 3D print.
OBJ: Standard format compatible with most 3D visualization and rendering software.
STEP / STP: Solid CAD file, perfect for CNC CAM toolpath generation or parametric editing.
Plasticity: The original source file, allowing you to easily adjust tolerances, modify the handle, or scale the design.
3. Settings and Manufacturing Instructions
For FDM / Resin 3D Printing:
Print Orientation: * Base Plate: Print flat on the build plate.
Mold Halves: Print resting on their flat outside faces (the backs of the blocks) so the inner mug cavity faces upwards. This ensures the smoothest possible surface finish for the casting area.
Supports: You will not need supports for the main cavities if oriented correctly. You may need minor supports if your printer struggles with bridging inside the alignment dimples on the mold halves.
Layer Height: 0.12mm to 0.16mm. A finer layer height is highly recommended to minimize layer lines inside the mug cavity and capture the horizontal bands cleanly, reducing the need for post-sanding.
Infill: 20% - 30% (Cubic or Gyroid pattern). A sturdy infill is required so the mold walls can withstand the clamping force when securing the halves together.
Walls/Perimeters: Use at least 4 walls to ensure the mold is completely watertight.
Usage Tip: Always apply a suitable mold release agent (like petroleum jelly, paste wax, or silicone spray) to the inner walls and alignment keys before pouring your casting material. Use strong rubber bands or trigger clamps to hold the two side blocks tightly together on the base plate.
For CNC Machining:
Software: Import the .STEP file directly into your CAM software (e.g., Fusion 360, Mastercam) for exact geometry recognition.
Tooling: Use a flat end-mill for roughing out the block and clearing the main cavity. Switch to a ball-nose end-mill for the 3D finishing passes to perfectly capture the smooth curves of the handle, the horizontal bands, and the round registration domes.
Material: Renshape (tooling board), Delrin, or Aluminum are excellent choices for creating a permanent, heavy-duty production mold.
