This is a digital file, not a physical object. You download the files and print them yourself. You will need a 3D printer. Nothing ships.
A ring for forming the orban before it is sealed. Two sizes are included:
-
7 inch, for an orban of about 6.5 to 7.5 inches
-
8 inch, for an orban of about 7.5 to 8.5 inches
Each prints in well under an hour and costs pennies in filament. The size is marked on the ring itself so the two do not get confused in a busy kitchen.
We drew these ourselves rather than reworking somebody else's file, because they were always meant to be given away and we wanted to be able to give them away cleanly.
Printing it
A 0.4 mm nozzle and ordinary settings are enough, and it needs no supports. Print with solid walls so the ring holds its shape against pressed dough.
Which filament, and this part matters
Print it in a filament sold as food grade. Bambu PLA Pure is the one we would reach for, and any equivalent food-grade filament is fine. If you print it in ordinary filament, treat the ring as single use and throw it away after one bake.
Please also know that food-grade filament does not by itself make a printed ring a certified food-contact tool. The same layer lines that let it print are fine grooves that hold water and dough, and no choice of filament changes that. Wash it by hand in cool water, dry it completely, never the dishwasher and never the oven, and print a fresh one whenever it starts to look tired. They cost almost nothing to replace, which is much of the point.
What you may do with it
Print it for yourself, for your family, and for your parish, as many as you like.
Please do not resell it, and please do not repost the file. If somebody else would like one, send them here and they can have it free the same way you did.
Why it is free
Because no parish should have to buy a ring from anybody. If it is useful to you, use it.
