This model stands about 20cm tall and requires careful printing in vase mode to avoid overhangs. To achieve this, a large nozzle and thin layers are necessary. I successfully printed the model with a 0.8mm nozzle, using 1mm extrusion width and 0.2mm layer height at a print speed of 30mm per second. If you scale down the model by 50%, it's possible to print it with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.12mm layer height. However, I haven't tried this yet. To scale up the model, you can lower the layer height to 0.12mm using a 0.8mm nozzle. Unfortunately, I haven't tested this option either. This model is not my creation; I simply scaled it down from its original form, which was found on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1978142.
