Free, Configurable Ceramic Lidded Pot Template to Print

Moldea generates the template for a small cylindrical pot with its lid, for slab building: set the diameter and height, and the tool works out the body, the base and the lid, enlarged for your clay's shrinkage, ready to print at true 1:1 scale.

About this lidded pot

A small cylindrical pot with its lid. The lid is built as an approximate dome (a low conical wall plus a flat top) because a true double curve can't be developed from a flat slab, and it uses fixed proportions chosen to look good. The default is 90mm in diameter by 45mm tall.

How to use the template

  1. Open the tool with the lidded pot already selected and adjust diameter and height with the sliders.
  2. Check the 3D preview, which shows the lid resting on the body as an approximate reference.
  3. Print at true 1:1 scale (with the 100×100mm calibration square) or download the SVG.
  4. Assemble the body and the base, then the lid: the low conical wall with its flat top at the tip.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the pot by default?

90mm in diameter by 45mm tall. Both measurements are set with the sliders.

What is the lid like?

An approximate dome: a low conical wall plus a flat top at the tip, because a true double curve can't be developed from a flat slab. It uses fixed proportions chosen to look good.

Can the lid be adjusted?

The lid's proportions are fixed; what you set is the pot's diameter and height, and the lid adapts to them.
