Olympic Kilns Doll E/ Test E Ceramic Kiln

Save Space and Energy with the Olympic Doll E

Hey, you know what's cool? Olympic Kilns has this kiln called the Doll E / Test E. It's perfect if you're tight on space or just getting started. You can plug it into any regular outlet in your house - no need for special wiring or anything.

It's not huge, but it gets the job done. The inside is oval-shaped, about 11.25" wide, 7" front-to-back, and 9" high. That's enough room for small stuff like test tiles, jewelry, or whatever small projects you're working on. Actually, a lot of universities and experienced potters use it for testing glazes and small batches.

Here's what I like about it:

• It can fire up to Cone 10 - that's 2350°F - so you can do pretty much any type of firing
• It comes with the KilnStar 12-Key controller that's pretty straightforward to use
• The outside is stainless steel, and it comes with a metal stand, so it's built to last
  
• It's 120V for easy home-use.

It's great whether you're just starting out or if you need something for testing or small batches. And the best part? It's 120v so you can set it up almost anywhere with no fuss. 

Controller Selection for the Olympic Test E Pottery Kiln

Olympic's partnership with digital controller manufacturers ensures top-notch performance and accuracy. With a variety of controllers available, you can choose the perfect fit for your firing needs. Whether you prefer a touch screen interface with extensive functionality or a numerical keypad for precise control, Olympic has you covered with their selection of controllers.

Genesis by Bartlett Instruments
The Genesis by Bartlett Instruments stands out with its advanced touch screen interface and extensive functionality. This controller boasts the capability to store up to 12 different programs - with up to 32 segments per program each! Such versatility allows for precise customization, whether you're adjusting temperatures, adding segments, or skipping steps along the firing process. With its user-friendly design, the Genesis ensures straightforward programming and ease of use, making it an ideal choice for those seeking smart controller features without sacrificing simplicity.

KilnStar
The KilnStar Electronic Wall unit transforms a manual kiln (equipped with a kiln sitter or pyrometer) into an electronically controlled kiln or can be purchased with a new kiln for those who prefer having the controller on the wall instead of the kiln. Placed on the wall away from the kiln, the wall unit is connected to the power cord or wiring of the kiln, with its thermocouple inserted into the kiln for temperature display. Available as 120-volt units, 30- or 50-amp units, or 100-amp units, electronic controllers offer versatility.

Additional Options for the Olympic Doll E Pottery Kiln

Solid State Relay
Investing in a Solid State Relay for your kiln is a game-changer! It's the powerhouse behind controlling the elements, handling hefty power loads with ease. Compared to mechanical relays, solid-state relays offer efficiency, speed, and longevity, ensuring precise temperature control, extended element lifespan, and reduced electrical costs. With solid-state relays, you can enjoy long-term savings and peace of mind without worrying about wear and tear.

Rollers with Caster Wheels
Rollers with caster wheels offer mobility, facilitating easy relocation of the kiln for storage or workspace optimization, especially when paired with a vent system. With the addition of caster wheels, moving the kiln becomes effortless, allowing you to adjust its position as needed without hassle.

Power Interrupt Switch / Automatic Lid Shutoff
The power interrupt switch enhances safety by cutting off power to heating elements when the lid is open, ensuring peace of mind during mid-firing access. This feature prevents accidents and damage by automatically shutting off the kiln's power supply when the lid is raised, protecting both the operator and the kiln itself.

Shelf/Furniture Kit
A comprehensive shelf/furniture kit is essential for kiln owners, providing necessary accessories to protect both the kiln and your pieces while maximizing firing space. Including the furniture kit with your initial kiln order saves costs and ensures a seamless purchasing experience. *Shelves may have surface imperfections - these imperfections (scratches, discoloration, or rough edges) are understood and accepted by the buyer.
