Yeah I have a couple ready to go. I had come to a halt, the printer hot bed had a solder come loose, been trying ABS filament and that went wrong. But it’s looking good now, back to PLA and waiting on another to finish which is in a different colour. I’ll PM you tomorrow a photo of what I have.

I’ll pm you tomorrow. There’s no actual place to order, I just sell them off here as and when I do them. It’s not a business and I’m not in it for profit, I just cover costs. Have a good read through for all the details. Your next in line.

By end of today I will have two of each of the ones pictured. Tomorrow I’m going to print off a couple in black. From there I will offer them up for people to buy. I think my early calculations on cost may have been a little light, so I’ll double check but these would more than likely be around £8.00 posted but a little more on top to cover PayPal fees, that would be U.K. only. If more are requested then I will carry on making them. I can just about print two a day on the basis of 8hrs being the print time. They do print up well but there is one thing I should highlight, they do have a seam, this is where the layers meet and go up as the layers build.

The Bowls are extremely well designed, I think; engineer in me. Notice how the lip is curved in, keeps the lather where it's supposed to be.

I used one I got somewhere else and really like it, the lip is a great feature, I need a bigger one now.

With credit to Iamdaniel for the redesign here is the ewer version. Had a bit of a week with the printer, with it deciding to give up the ghost. Turned out to be a wire that had come loose on the heat bed. I quick message to a friend and all is fixed. Apparently it’s a common thing on this printer. So an order for a new bed has been placed, I’m keeping a spare and if one goes my mate will solder it again. A slight mod too, I’m going to choc block the wires for an easy exchange of beds.

So back to the print, this one was done in a different filament called PETG. Cura the print software I use has a draft excluder print, basically an extra printed bit around the main print. Draft can mean a print cools to quick and warps everything. Unfortunately as it’s one layer wide it doesn’t always stick well it’s self. In this case it collapsed and caused it to instead stick to the main body of the print. So it’s “hairy” !! I will try it again.

Looks like posted a lot on this thread today, please excuse my exuberance.

Yes mate...look up Yeggi.
Lots to choose from. The link leads to Thingiverse items.
I never realised anyone was making these until I found this thread. The copper one looks great @ Northam Saint.
I am now officially retired, and contemplating 'something' to do with all my new found free-time!
As I wanted a bowl quickly I just bought a Yaqi ceramic shaving bowl which will be OK until I drop it. Man those things are quite heavy.
A 3D printed one is in my plans now though. My original plan had been to make an Old Spice mug lid, but then I found all sorts of shaving gear including razor plans.
