A *slightly* Overengineered Olpe Vase

prusaprinters

<p>After making this, I spent more time and made a more cleanly engineered one. <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/292833">Find that one here</a> with f3d and step files.</p><p>Apparently, according to Fusion360, I made almost 200 versions. I think I might have a problem… but I enjoyed learning some new tools and strategies.</p><p>My main goal was to make something that could get printed with a single perimeter but looks like it can't be, like how my <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/2311-spiral-vase-mode-sierpinski-pyramid"><strong>Sierpinski pyramid</strong></a> model works.</p><p><strong>* It took way more hours than reasonable</strong> to figure out the shape I wanted. It was mainly modeled by eye in Fusion 360, making faces with revolves, lofts, and rails and stitching them all together.</p><p>I am still printing my final version. I'll get a photo up once it's done. Currently printing in <a href="https://www.prusa3d.com/product/prusament-pla-azure-blue-1kg/"><strong>Prusament PLA Azure Blue,</strong></a> probably my all-time favorite. I'd like even more (hence the contest submission)</p><p><strong>Bonus: I included a shelled-out version</strong> (it still has the inner ribs, for fun) for people who want it to be more substantial or don't like vase mode.</p><h4>Features!</h4><ul><li>Circular base for easy printing of the first layers</li><li>different rib pattern on the inside</li><li>circular top edge for rigidity</li><li>gradual overhangs for easy printing</li><li>no gaps. It should be watertight (don't sue me)</li><li><strong>it looks fabulous!</strong></li><li><strong>it feels incredible! </strong>(sort of squishy in the middle)</li><li>the vase shape is called an <strong>Olpe</strong> or <strong>Oenochoe</strong>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typology_of_Greek_vase_shapes">apparently</a>.</li></ul><p>That's all I have to say about this.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
