To achieve these striking vases, they are created using the "spiral outer contour mode" in Cura. The large red vase was printed at 200% scale, resulting in a height of 506.5mm. Due to its enormous size, the plastic became too heavy, causing slight warping during the printing process. A 0.5mm nozzle was used for this particular print job, but in hindsight, a 0.8 mm nozzle would have been more suitable. The entire print took just under 24 hours. In contrast, the gold PLA vase was printed at 100% scale, reaching a height of 253.25mm. This model printed flawlessly.
