This is a test tile die that should work with most 4in ceramic wall mounted clay extruders similar to this one https://www.northstarequipment.com/Extruders.htm .
I use the 2 bumps as a way to show 1 dip and 2 dips on a glaze test tile. I also punch a hole so i can zip tie them to buckets/hang them as needed
Printing Settings
I printed mine out of PETG with 3 bottom, top, and wall layers, 35% gyroidal infill. initial testing is good for durability with no signs of layer separation or creaking. I made mine on a Bambu X1 with a 0.4mm nozzle
I included the Solidworks file I used to create these dies and the .3mf blank files if you want to design your own dies.
Design Tips
I found a .2in wall is about right for the tube wall thickness. A leading chamfer of .1"@45deg and a round cutout of 0.75" was necessary to recompress the clay around the “z” bar that supports the inner piece of the die.
