Icosagon Semi See-through Vase/Container

prusaprinters

<p>Printed using a 0.4mm nozzle at a 0.2mm layer height with Prusament PLA. Basically the Prusa Mini 0.2mm Quality settings with Vase mode turned on.&nbsp;</p><p>So I wanted to make a simple container for my pens, but using a single wall Vase mode woud make it to flimsy for my needs. Came up with this design by combining corrugation with bridging.&nbsp;</p><p>For anyone wanting to replicate the basic premise of this design, here are some points I noted while designing the container</p><ul><li>The model is essentially stacked “gears” that is rotated for the next stack. However, I strongly discourage rotating every layer (in this case 0.2mm), as a single strand for the bridge is quite flimsy</li><li>At the same time, keep in mind that as you increase the height of the “gear”, the texture of the vase changes and opacity is affected. For my model I used 0.6mm(3 layers) per stack, but thats jut my preference</li><li>If you are concerned about the top, I did include a version where the top is sealed but it won't work with just vase mode. It was sectioned off using a bounding box.</li><li>I did try to change the overall shape (e.g hourglass shape), but couldn't manage to get it to work in Vase mode. Works in regular settings though. If anyone has any idea why it doesn't work in Vase mode, feel free to leave a comment.</li></ul>
