Potter's Wheel Height Guide

Description

A ceramics friend was using a cut-up PET bottle with rough biro markings on it as his height guide for projects on the wheel (see pic).  

I said I'd make him something a bit more bespoke and easier to use……

This improved height guide free-stands on the wheel and has clear and legible markings for easy use.

It can be printed in the filament of your choice - PLA or PETG.  If your printer can handle printing with two filaments, then a contrasting colour can be used for the text and height marks (as per the above picture).  I've included a ‘recessed text’ version for printers that only use a single filament at a time.

As far a printing specific go:

Material: PLA or PETG - nothing fancy.

Layer height: Doesn't matter.

Orientation: Text side down on plate.

Perimeters: Two

Infill: Grid @ 15% will be plenty as the model carries no load and simply sits on the wheel to be gazed at momentarily.
