Cheap careless mass produced screen printing crap. I miss the days when objects in our day-to-day lives have thought and Care put into them. I guess that's incompatible with low cost though
This would be so damn hard to line up. Semi-spherical shape with a graphic on it? No way are you getting that perfect. A smartly designed product would account for that misalignment by simply stopping the graphic before they overlap and leaving a gap.
It's not that hard, it's printed with a huge soft industrial tiddy. You just have to line it up on the flat stamp thingy, which should be easy, probably.
Ceramics are never super tight in tolerance, and a tiddy is a soft, deformable shape that will never deform exactly the same every time, plus it needs to be moved and compressed around the part. You get any of those off by even a little and you get misalignment.
Very true, but the person above was downplaying how difficult aligning things would be. You are right that with the tiddy method, the rubber/silicone (I assume that's what they are made of) comes down in one shot so the pattern could distort, but not misalign as shown.
The original picture was almost certainly a ceramic glaze decal that would be very hard to get to line up perfectly.
Even with slip cast porcelain, where the actual ceramic piece isn't going to vary that significantly from casting to casting, it still would take some expertise to apply it without a very visible seam.
It’s actually kind of beautiful because it makes me think of breaking the grid of space to do some kind of faster-than-light travel.
This could be a ripping seam in the fabric of spacetime at the edge of an Alcubierre warp bubble.
Like a “behind the veil” opportunity appearing as a rent in the backdrop of reality, that you could step through. A secret cave entrance opening in a Zelda game. That feeling.
This shouldn't exist, break it!.
An evil like this can only be destroyed in the heart of a volcano.
Cast it into the flames, destroy it!

I'll ask my president to send a nuke over.
Not mildly; this is totally infuriating

If we went back to that, I'd probably immediately miss the days when objects in our day-to-day were attainable for one Euro or so :-)
Yes, yes and yes.
Make them yourself for free

You are way underestimating it.
Ceramics are never super tight in tolerance, and a tiddy is a soft, deformable shape that will never deform exactly the same every time, plus it needs to be moved and compressed around the part. You get any of those off by even a little and you get misalignment.
You won't ever get this type of misalignment with the tiddy method. You can get distortion of the pattern.

Yeah it would be stretched but it woudn't be misaligned like that.
Wait, there's a real tool called a "tiddy" which is a "soft, deformable shape"?
Wait till you google image search it and see what it looks like!
(I would recommend you include ceramic and printing in your search)
Here's a video showing the tiddy in action.

It's a silicone tiddy?

Are they industrially known as printing tiddies or am I gonna get giggled at (not that I mind) when I go buy one for home projects?
I guess they're called something like silicone printers or something but I prefer printing tiddies. They're absolutely mesmerizing.
If theres a tiddy that isn't mesmerizing I haven't met it
Sickening.
This is like the patterned shirt that my wife bought that had the seam down the front and the pattern didn't line up.
Who the hell puts a print pattern seam on the front when you got two fabric seams right there on the side?
First day shit right there.
Right?! Sad because the cut of the shirt was nice.
I already hated humanity, but this just reinforces my opinion.
They clearly didn't use the printing tiddy, if they did the pattern would be in one piece
The what? ELI5?
There's a machine that's used to print designs on bowls that looks like two boobs.
It’s the little imperfections that let you know it’s handmade.
The hands that made this were metal.
Very disturbing! I will now be day drinking.
I kind of want this just to anger coworkers and strangers
Secret Santa gift ideas for that co-worker that will hate it 😈
Smash it. It's the only way to 'fix' it.
Destroy it.
Glitch in the matrix, they're coming for you.
Why do I actually kind of like the chaos
You are profeddor chaos.
As someone who look for pattern everywhere all the time, I need an eye bleach.
Look for an eyeblach community and let me know if you find you please.
