Flow Vase

For a brand-new and enhanced version of my own website, visit https://www.designuitinspiratie.nl/flowing-vase2/ -------------------------------------------------------------- This is the Flow Vase, because I designed it in a flow state. The idea is to print it in "vase mode" or "spiral outer contour mode." The blue PLA model is stretched in the Z direction to make it simpler for the FDM printer to close the gaps (in Vase Mode). The Orange ABS model is printed in normal mode, but then without infill and zero top layers. Wall count is set to two layers. With a nozzle of 0.4 mm, this makes the walls 0.8 mm thick. This was an attempt to make it easier for the FDM printer to close the walls without stretching the object too much in the Z direction. A disadvantage was that I had to do cleaning due to stringing. So I still prefer the "vase mode" option. The large blue model took 20 hours and is 50 cm high. This is file "flow vase3.stl," and it's scaled 200% in the Z direction, printed without a bottom (0.5mm nozzle). I experimented with light and that gave some illusive light effects. I tried to capture it on photo. Note: To make it easier for the FDM printer, I made three different models. "flow vase2.stl" & "flow vase3.stl" are the easiest. "flow vase.stl" should be printed easily when Z is stretched out to 160%
