@invertedisdead
I was close to take your design and make it in ceramiq. With a full covering of the titane like an half egg over it.
Like A small vapbong heater only, with PID, and rubies
It's just an inverted salt shaker in middle of a bowl...
But here, around me, i only have afraid uncompetent artisan, or "artist"..
Every one of your issue with qwartz would be easier with paper-clay.
Allow thinner, resistant, malleability,
but adding celulose (paper), add porosity (reduced conduction).
3% of paper is the norm but it could be lowered.
Porcelain seems the best neutral clay, higher retractation coeff (20%) which is good here, for minimalist pieces, but more expensive than sandstone.
An other way would be 3d printing AIN, "nitrure d'aluminium", the perfect ceramiq coumpound, ~150 W.m-1.K-1 ( boro=1W..., porcelain=2 , rubies=58..).
But we have none medical feedback, even if it's oxydation is really low.
If a chinese hand can read me... or i will have to ask
@Collyland / Daniel for a particular piece..
and with a cocoon/oven stand to go with it
I already see a "mother, the whore, Earth" cocoon stand, with inside a full yellow/orange ball ceramiq heater in.
My allegory, going deep in that whore,..
i'm not a dumb Bezos.
