Spiral Vase Flared Top

thingiverse

This is a collection of wall vases. Please refrain from using Vase Mode. The height of these vases is uniform, measuring 240 mm tall. Each one features a flare at the top to give it a more refined appearance. There are subtle variations among each vase. One difference lies in the wall thickness. The number accompanying the name of the vase indicates the wall thickness in millimeters. This pack contains vases with 2, 5 and 8 mm walls. I deliberately varied the wall size so you can choose how sturdy you want it to feel. This will also affect the print time and filament usage for each one. As you examine the vases, you'll notice that each wall size difference alters their appearance. Additionally, two of the vases have a distinct feature: I built them with inverted walls, marked as "Inner". The outer-built walled vases exhibit rounded, spiraled edges, giving them a cleaner and smoother look. For those who prefer a crisp, sharp-edged appearance, I created 2mm and 8 mm walled vases with INNER walls. When the walls are reversed, the edges of the spirals lose their smooth texture and become sharp. I decided to mix things up on these vases. It's ultimately a matter of personal taste and where you plan to use the vase. If you prefer a softer look, choose the rounded and smooth version. If you need something sharp, crisp, and clean, opt for the INNER version. Keep in mind that these vases have fixed wall thicknesses. If you adjust the percentage in your slicer to resize the vase, the wall thickness will also change proportionally. For example, if you increase the size of the vase to 150%, your wall thickness will also increase by approximately 150%. This allows you to calculate how thick your walls will be on the vase if you upsize or downsize it. The original wall thickness of either 2, 5 or 8 mm is based on a 100% scaling factor.
