TwistedFlutes8

Like my other TwistedFlutes parts, this one is crafted from a Loft surface defined by 10 vertically stacked curves. Due to the outside surface's intricate design, the part's STL file weighs in at nearly 96 MB in size. Thankfully, compressing it into a ZIP file slashes the size in half. Because this part stands tall and boasts a small base diameter, I added a 4 mm wide brim to ensure it stays firmly attached to the print bed throughout the printing process. With some leftover filament reels on hand, I seized the opportunity to use them up by printing with two different colors. This TwistedFlutes model took 19 hours and 30 minutes to complete, thanks to a print speed of 80 mm/sec and a layer height of 0.200 mm.
