Reader Submitted: A 3D Printed Clay Humidifier Made of Recycled Industrial Waste

From Core77 reader JIAMING LIU: This project is a printed clay humidifier that can be used in many combinations, providing a flexible solution that can be combined in pairs or individually to suit different space requirements.

Each has two parts, the upper part absorbs water and evaporates water. The lower part is glazed on the outside and can be poured and stored water.The unique 3D printing structure not only greatly improves the water absorption efficiency, but also the water absorption part and the water storage part do not need to be separated and can be printed in one piece.

It made of recycled ceramic powder as clinker, in a ratio of 1:3The recycled ceramic powder here can not only improve the strength and water absorption of the structure, but also after the service life of the product, the product can be continue used as recycled clinker. The project aims to explore the use of sustainable materials and possible applications for 3D printing clay.
