Making functional teapot takes about 10 queries. You just have to make the pot and spout hollow and move the handle outside.

Totally functional tea-pot production solution already. All you need to do is to automatize the display function and STL-production and any granny can print her own teapot without understanding nothing about computers and 3D-printers.

Rest in peace granny, taken from us by a cocktail of plastics, bacteria, mold and tea. Maybe stating the obvious but 3D printed parts usually aren't food safe unless you post-process them with an appropriate non-porous coating.

What's your favorite non-porous teapot coating?

[timonoko]

No coating needed. All you need is to re-flow the ABS. Feels like pottery after this simple operation: https://youtu.be/iLaGJwCCz-E?si=a1gccp8EI9sGzt-e

Do you really want almost-boiling-water in ABS? I wouldn't do that.

[timonoko]

Reflow happens at 200°C, out gassing any 3D-related harmful stuff.

Equal to inject-molded ABS cutlery.

Maybe I'm too careful but I wouldn't use plastic cutlery on hot food either. Also, the glass transition temperature of ABS is only 105 °C, so It's probably not too strong when filled with 100 °C water.

Those grannies are already making teapots, it's called pottery.

More than a thousand generations of grannies, at that. Additive manufacturing from 30,000 years ago!
