Are you ready to elevate your pottery game to new heights? The Olympic Kilns - 1214FLE is your gateway to precision firing, exceptional control, and endless creative possibilities. With its outstanding features and customizable options, this kiln is a game-changer for both beginners and experienced ceramic artists.
Unparalleled Firing Precision
Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to precision firing with the 1214FLE. With a firing capacity of up to Cone 8/2300°F, this electric kiln is designed to bring your ceramics to life with flawless accuracy.
(Please note that if you do opt for the quartz viewing window option, the maximum firing temperature is 1700°F.)
Take Control
Consider carefully which controller best fits your situation.
The 1214-FLE comes standard with the 3K-CF Bartlett Instruments controller. It's basic, reliable, but most ideal for only occasional use. It's built to store 4 custom firing profiles with up to 8 segments each.
Pottery Pulse highly suggests an upgrade to either the digital KilnStar controller or the Genesis Touchscreen controller, for greater customization, functionality, precision, accuracy, and ease of use. The Genesis is $128 upgrade and is well worth it, with capabilities to store up to 12 different programs with up to 32 segments per program - that's ultimate control!
Front Loading Door Choice
As the name implies, the 1214-FLE is a front-loading (electric) kiln. You have the choice of a bottom-hinged door, or a guillotine-hinged door. What's your preference?
Options to Suit Your Needs
Customization is key, and the Olympic Kilns 1214FLE offers a range of options to tailor your firing experience. First, select the voltage that works with your electrical set-up. Then, pick the right controller. What door hinge do you want? Other choices include options for a bead door, quartz viewing window (2 different size/configuration options), Type S thermocouple, casters, vent, and more. You can build the kiln that suits your artistic vision.
Solid State Relays: The Ultimate Investment
For those seeking the best in temperature control, the solid state relay is a game-changer. Unlike standard mechanical relays, solid state relays are incredibly efficient and operate at lightning speed. This means tighter temperature control, longer element life, and savings on your electrical bill. Plus, they can last the entire life of your kiln, saving you time and money on replacements. Seriously, a mechanical relay will break down. It's a matter of time. This is true with any kiln, any manufacturer.
Take our guidance here - at a minimum, upgrade to the solid state relays and a non-standard controller option.
Mobility and Safety
Worried about moving your kiln? Opt for a stand with caster wheels to make mobility a breeze. And for added safety, consider the power interrupt switch that removes power from the elements when the kiln is opened, protecting you and your pottery.
Maximize your kiln's capacity with a Furniture Kit
The kit custom made for the 1214-FLE includes (2) 9" x 12" rectangle shelves, (4) each of 1, 3, and 5-inch small square posts, and a 1-lb. bag of kiln wash. These pieces are so critical to taking advantage of as much of that interior chamber as possible, during each firing.
Don't compromise on your pottery dreams – the Olympic Kilns 1214FLE is here to turn your artistic vision into reality. Upgrade to the ultimate firing experience and take your ceramics to the next level. Order yours today and transform your artistry!
