A maths art vase for pretty flowers

thingiverse

Of my vases, this one is hands-down my top favorite so far! I always print them at 300mm high with a little z-axis stretch. You've got to be extra careful around the neck, though - make sure you've got ample cooling and your print speed is dialed back way down for those shorter layers. As I always do with vase prints, use solid models, and go for three to five base layers plus one perimeter layer - no need for any top layers, of course! Nozzle setting-wise, crank it up to twice the usual size with a quarter normal speed, so your extruder has plenty of time to compensate for that extra flow. If you experiment with a 0.125 layer height, I find that comes out really nicely - you can even go as high as half your nozzle's normal range if you're careful not to mess with the z-axis scale. I'd love to see how they turn out in finished form and in real-world use!
