Many potters have a handheld extruder but use it only to make coils and handles. Here's a die that expands the range of what is possible to make with a handheld extruder.
This die extrudes a hollow five-point star. It can be used to make bud vases, desk organizers, or ... whatever you imagine. The dies screws onto the extruder in place of the endcap.
This die is called "Full bore" because it extrudes a shape that is about as large as possible with a handheld extruder.
This die is compatible with the Scott Creek, Nidec handheld extruders, and the Milwaukee electric caulking gun.
Extrusion Dimensions: The extruded shape is 2" point-to-point with a wall thickness of 5 mm.
Die Dimensions: The die is about 2 1/2" wide and 1 1/2" tall.
