This guy has worked something our you may want to try.

I poked around on google once and found some web pages that say a porcelain mixture works best.

From what I've seen, consumer level printers extrude clay, but services like Shapeways utilize a powder.

Can comparable results for ceramic objects be obtained using the extruding printers rather than a powder approach? Is there any reason the clay that is extruded by printers like Hyrel cannot be glazed and fired like any other item?
