I didn’t know Corcelain before but I think it is a great idea. I was missing some standard vessel like a glass or a mug that would be available to everyone and that could be combined with 3D printing. Corcelain meets these requirements but has one drawback. From what I see, it is only available in Japan and it is a niche product.
And here is my question to the Makerworld team: will this product be available in the future in Maker’s Supply so everyone can buy it?
Wait what? Corcelain!? I’m curious what’s all this about I never heard of it either.
I read both pages but am a bit stumped… is this kiln fired prints? ceramic mugs that exist with screw bases and we are designing bases for them (really cool!)?
Or is this really smooth good looking pla matte something “mug” shaped prints with the feets and cuteness yada yada?
Please tell me someone figured out the ceramic printing! *fingers crossed *
I can’t find anything on the Web with details about “Corcelain”. The only references are from BBL.
But assuming this is filament with a ceramic filler that can be sintered in an oven after printing to cook off the plastic and leave you with a solid ceramic part, it’s not that unique an idea. There are similar filaments for metal out there, too.
The parts shrink when sintered, and dimensional tolerances can’t be tightly controlled. People who use this stuff for mechanical parts print “upscaled” to account for the shrinkage, and areas that require very tight tolerances are left oversized to be machined after sintering.
But if all you’ve got is FDM and you need a “hard” part, these are your only options short of printing plugs for a casting.
These are just porcelain dishes that you can buy in a Japanese store.
Corcelain is porcelain with screw holes. By adding extension parts, it can morph into cups, flowerpots, toys, and more, allowing for limitless customization. This is a growing ecosystem for co-creation that you can hack, personalize, and improve, depending on your infinite imagination.
These are a specific porcelain product that is already fired and can be incorporated into 3d printed project using a threaded hole on the porcelain - there’s a link in the contest page that directs to the storefront where the items are for sale.
Where can we buy these to test some out? Amazon I can’t find any, and the web as above, when we search it’s quite difficult to find them (in english)
Is there a specific term or alt language searchable for more info on this?
I love the idea of adding an articulated mess around the cup making it impossible to put down thus irritating millions. I gotta get on frustrating humanity as quickly as possibly haha.
Thanks! This contest will be interesting but without physical cups for us to really test on it’s going to be a bit tricky (like you guys said tollerances etc.)
I was aware of ceramic printing since years back (someone modded a cr10 to do alt materials was a post about it forever ago) but it must have come a long long way since 10+ years ago. Cool project/contest!
Their website says they aren’t shipping products until March. I’m assuming we are just going to 3D print the 3 styles they are sharing instead of the actual product?
Wow you guys never miss anything!
We’re excited to announce this one-of-a-kind contest! As many of you know, we’ve always been at the forefront of pushing the boundaries of 3D printing. This time, we’re partnering with Corcelain to explore the exciting fusion of 3D printing and traditional porcelain craftsmanship.
For the contest requirements , you can simply refer to the examples we’ve provided: Corcelain - Extension Sample | Collection - MakerWorld
As shown in the examples, what we’re asking you to do is showcase how you would design unique add-ons or creative bases for these customizable porcelain pieces. And these examples are just the simplest version.
We’re confident that the all of you will surprise us with amazing ideas, both in terms of aesthetics and functionality!
A detailed introduction to Corcelain might be helpful for your creative process: Corcelain is a collaborative porcelain design featuring a screw hole, allowing the addition of extension parts to transform it into cups, flowerpots, toys, and more. This opens up endless possibilities for customization. It’s an evolving ecosystem where designers, creators, and 3D printing enthusiasts can innovate, personalize, and enhance their creations—limited only by your imagination.
Designed by Kosuke Takahashi and crafted in collaboration with 224 Porcelain from Hizen-Yoshidayaki, a renowned porcelain-producing region in Japan, Corcelain blends exceptional artisan skill with digital craftsmanship. This fusion invites you to explore the perfect balance of tradition and innovation. You can learn more about their products at: https://shop.corcelain.com/
In case you are still wondering, Corcelain is a company with one design, and it is a cup with a screw holder. We are probably just going to be trying to make it cooler… I think. Handles, floppy legs, etc.
So it is not a contest, it is a promotion and a quite questionable one.
No filament available, no clues, no real details, no nothing.
Seems Makerworld still needs more content without anyone being able to make use of the contest creations…
If you want to advertise, fine, but don’t turn it into a contest while failing to provide ALL the requirements and details upfront.

On that website we see it is a global design contest, not a Makerworld thing, they are riding on the train.
It is glorified mug for crying out loud and I totally fail to see the point why anyone needs a contest for a product that isn’t even available!
What comes next a contest to design a handle for spare hammer heads or or such nonsense ?
Considering their price for a simple cup is close to $30AU plus shipping I find this contest a real joke …
That’s like 4 rolls of esun pla+ filament here in canada common! No brainer zee cup is staying in his kiln.
Maybe this is more for local, still really cool, give it 6 months and standard copycats to fire up their machines and start embedding screws into coffee mugs.
Wait… why don’t we just…make a coaster style cup bottom for our own western mugs with a screw on it?
The product is not available yet, that’s why they provided the files of their mugs. You can print them in 1:1 scale, you don’t have to buy them.
Honestly, for me this is one of the most interesting contests in a long time.
