Esthetics over functionality?

Here’s the teapot before sanding. Some surface flaws might cause issues when removing the mold from the mother mold, so additional sanding may be needed. Overall, the print turned out well. Next, the remaining parts need to be printed and evaluated.

The top plate issue remains unsolved—it can fall off, but the idea is for the user to hold it in place with a finger. I prioritized aesthetics and clean lines over a locking mechanism, though I’m unsure if I fully trust this solution. For now, I’ll proceed with this approach and assess whether it holds up in practice.
