CNC pottery is so much fun. Highly recommend getting into Rhino / Grasshopper if you aren’t already. You can go as deep as you want, and programmatically generating gcode means the world is your oyster (or at least the clay is, or at least when it cooperates)

Will, I do all my stuff in OpenSCAD already :)

Like these knotty designs:

I procrastinated on getting into Rhino/Grasshopper because it's not FOSS, and now that I'm about to join the computational geometry team of a competing suite specifically focusing on parametric 3D for manufacturing, it might take even longer :D

Very cool! It will be interesting to see if you can get clay to do that kind of knot!

I do somewhat more conventional stuff, but still taking advantage of full control of gcode generation: https://www.instagram.com/23lumens
