    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.

        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.

        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?
