3D printing products company Tethon 3D has created a Kickstarter campaign for Porcelite, a ceramic porcelain resin that will allow anyone with a UV-based 3D printer to create porcelain prints.

These Porcelite prints, like regular porcelain, will need to be heated in a kiln to harden. After this process, Tethon 3D claims that the resulting print will be 100% procelin (implying that any other reagents in the material will be removed by the heat in the kiln).

Once your fancy new print has been hardened, you can apply paint and glaze as you please.

The campaign is only looking to raise $5 000 (R79 967) to mass produce, bottle and ship the product, so all the leg work to actually develop Porcelite has already been done.

At the time of this writing, the campaign was only a meagre $30 (R480) from meeting its goal.

If you actually want some of this stuff, you’ll need to shell out $200 (R3 200) for a litre bottle. Other contribution options include T-Shirts, Skype tutorials on how to use the product, and even workshops at the Tethon 3D studio in Nebraska.

The promised Porcelite bottles have a shipping date of April 2016, with the other products in March. Luckily, it ships worldwide.
