Filament Spool for Vase Mode + 1mm Nozzle Fast and Strong

cults3d

I absolutely cannot stand how bulky the default 1KG spools are so I designed my own! This is designed to be printed as quickly as possible using vase mode! To get the desired shape you will need to follow a few specific parameters, however: Nozzle size MUST be: 1.0mm So the walls will be strong enough to not crush under the pressure of the filament when spooled Layer height MUST be: 0.8mm So the print goes as quickly as possible but also cause of the next part... The number of bottom layers MUST be: 3 total I designed the bottom of the part at 2.4mm tall so when you print it with .8mm layers the three bottom layers will be completely filled and the rest will take advantage of vase mode's quirks to finish super fast with one continuous line thus making it stronger overall! My recommended material type: PETG It should be perfectly fine to print in PLA but I haven't tried with anything other than PETG mostly cause I like me some see-through spools. =P A small note: because of the way vase mode works you will have a small line going from the outside of the part to the center circle you will have to remove (or not it'll probably be fine enough even if you leave it) someone else may know how to trick the slicer into not making this line but honestly, it's not hard to remove so I'm not too worried about it lol. You will then need to glue the two pieces together and another small note to be aware of some glue will leave a white film on things if it's not ABSOLUTELY COMPLETELY DRY! So my recommendation is to try and get the glue as on the inside of the two parts as possible or just leave the spool to dry for 24h before you use it. If not there is a strong possibility the glue will leave the last strip on the first row either whitened or even worst-case completely glued to the inside of the spool. Also! This part may finish quickly but it will still use a heck lot of filament! So just keep that in mind.
