Grail Vase

thingiverse

I tried printing this Vase or Lamp Shade using Cura's "spiral outer contour mode," but it didn't work out as planned due to deformation. The print didn't turn out right, so I had to think of a new approach. I decided to try different materials and printers to see if that would solve the problem, but unfortunately, this particular design just isn't meant for a single-layer wall. I ended up printing these Vases as solids with 0% infill, two wall layers, one bottom layer, and no top layers instead. To minimize unnecessary travel moves and stringing, I also changed the Z seam to "closest" in Cura. The translucent Lamp Shade is made of PET-G, while the green one is printed with PLA.
