SKILLS GUIDANCES
Problem
Reason
Solution
Fracture of clay
Excessive force during lifting
The lifting process should be small
and even.
11
Clay is in a spiral
shape.
The clay molding speed exceeds
the machine speed.
Turn the mold a few times in
advance.
Clay unevenly
stressed presses
Abnormal posture of clay
molding.
Sit firmly and keep your back,
neck, shoulders, upper arms,
forearms, wrists and palms still.
Coordinate your whole body
Strength.
Clay off center
Got wrong and unstable force on
hands when looking for the
center.
The left palm must be placed in
the eight o 'clock position on the
turntable and applied downward
oblique pressure with even force.
The opening is
uneven and
off-center.
1.The center is not found
correctly.
2.Not opening in the center.
3.Hands shake when pressing
down, uneven force.
The opening of the middle tip of
the left finger or thumb must be
assisted by the right finger and
must be pressed down vertically
from the center point.
Hollow at the
bottom
Pressing down too fast and too
hard.
1.The bottom thickness of the hole
should be left about 2cm.
2.Pause the machine, add new
clay, start the machine, and
smooth the surface.
Bubbles.
The clay has not been kneaded
properly.
Pause the machine and prick the
air bubbles with a needle, fill the
hole with clay, then start the
machine to smooth the surface.
Uneven
thickness when
lifted.
Hands are not on parallel lines or
uneven force.
The inner and outer fingertips
must move synchronously in a
straight line when lifting the clay.
12
Mold collapsed.
1.There was too much water and
the clay was too soft to hold.
2.Opening rapidly expands,
deformation and collapse.
3.The wall is thick on the top and
thin on the bottom, which cannot
be supported.
4.Clay is used for too long and its
viscosity decreases.
1. Use as little water as possible
when drawing.
2. Keep your hands moving from
the bottom to the top.
3. Never press down.
4. Rapid prototyping.
Bottom break
1.Knead clay is not uniform, clay
dry and wet is not uniform.
2.Water at the bottom, no water
absorption after forming.
3.When dry, not placed on
absorbent boards.
4.Sun exposure.
5.Too thick at the bottom.
1.Knead the clay evenly.
2.Sponge up the water inside the
vessel when finished.
3.Let dry on a solid board.
4.Keep out of the sun.
5.The bottom thickness is less
than 2cm.
TROUBLESHOOTING INSTRUCTION

The power supply is not
connected.
1.Check whether the power
plug is properly inserted.
