This is my 2nd version of centering tool, i made this to be able too handle a smaller claybody then first version.

 

This tool is designed to help center clay on the pottery wheel during wheel throwing. the ones i have tryed was not good enough.
By applying gentle, even pressure while the wheel is spinning, it assists in bringing the clay into a stable and centered position, reducing effort and improving consistency.

Ideal for:

• Beginners learning to center clay
• Reducing physical strain during centering
• Achieving a more consistent starting form before throwing

The design is simple, durable, and intended to work smoothly on the wheel without damaging the clay surface.
It can be easily 3D printed and used as a supportive aid alongside traditional hand-centering techniques.
