Cup Perspective

Design your own cup. Pick the size — espresso, cup, mug, tumbler — the shape of its wall, the surface under your fingers, a handle or none, and a name or a word raised on the side. Printed in one piece in PLA Pure, a plain plant-based plastic with nothing added but the colour, with a thick wall that keeps its shape. Hand-wash it; cold and warm drinks, not boiling.

Up to 14 letters, raised 0.9 mm on the side opposite the handle.

How it is made. The whole cup is one rule: how far the wall stands from the centre at every height and angle. The shape sets that — straight, tapered, tulip, belly — and the surface adds to it: 24 fine ribs, ribs that spiral, twelve flat facets, a soft wave, a field of dimples. The word is drawn on a strip, wrapped round the cup, and raised where the ink falls. The last 6 mm under the rim are always smooth, for the lip. Wall 3.2 mm, floor 4 mm.

PLA Pure. Plain PLA — a plant-based plastic — with nothing added beyond the colour, printed in one piece. It is a printed cup, not a glazed one: hand-wash with warm water and a soft sponge, and use it for cold and warm drinks. Not the dishwasher, not boiling water, not the microwave — PLA softens above about 60 °C.
