Free, Configurable Rectangular Ceramic Dish Template to Print

Moldea generates the template for a rectangular dish with sloped walls for slab building: set the width and depth of the base and of the rim, and the height, and the tool works out each wall as an exact flat trapezoid, enlarged for your clay's shrinkage, ready to print at true 1:1 scale.

About this dish

A rectangular dish whose walls open outward. Unlike the round pieces it has no curves: each wall is an exact flat trapezoid. The default is a 250×180mm base, a 290×210mm rim and 50mm tall — the width and depth of the base and of the rim are set separately.

How to use the template

  1. Open the tool with the dish already selected and adjust the base and rim width and depth, and the height, with the sliders.
  2. Check the 3D preview to confirm the slope of the walls.
  3. Print at true 1:1 scale (with the 100×100mm calibration square) or download the SVG.
  4. Cut the base and the four walls (the front and back are identical, and so are the two sides), join the corners and attach the base.

Frequently asked questions

What size is the dish by default?

A 250×180mm base, a 290×210mm rim and 50mm tall. The width and depth of the base and of the rim are set separately.

Why are the walls exact?

Because a rectangular wall has no curve: it's a flat trapezoid, without the approximation of a conical development. The pattern you print is exact.

How many pieces do I cut?

Five: the base and four walls. The front and back are identical (cut twice from the same pattern), and so are the two sides.
