Twisty soft curve penta-vase

I've played around with the openscad basics and discovered that the extrude function is severely constrained when it comes to crafting intricate shape creations. This approach relies on mathematically derived 3D coordinates listed out, then plucking individual values to serve as a base layer, wrapped by alternating triangles around the circumference, topped off with additional triangles extending from the perimeter towards the center. Each triangle is designed to be drawn clockwise when viewing the outer surface; doing so in reverse order can lead to the display of "thrown together" mode offending triangles highlighted in purple. Despite getting it all spot on, the resulting STL render fails to deliver a streamlined result. In any case, slic3r flags an error and refuses to slice the model. mattercontrol, however, effortlessly slices and prints the object without issue. To access successful printing instructions, check out the instructions tab. A crucial detail for securing a neat wall and optimal sealing is to print at a thickness substantially exceeding the nozzle orifice diameter by simulating a nozzle with a significantly wider diameter. This speeds up base layer printing and renders multiple walls unnecessary. The instructions for producing a high-quality result are outlined below: 3 bottom layers, NO TOP LAYER, 0.5mm layer height To create an impenetrable, watertight seal, modify the nozzle diameter setting to 1.5mm. Also, adjust the feed rate down; I've achieved success with a 25mm/sec pace. Bear in mind that the filament will feed more quickly due to the simulated large nozzle diameter. To accommodate the increased filament feed rate, set the extruder temperature to 200 deg C. Configure the heated base at 55 deg C and maintain an outer layer feed rate of 40mm/sec. Be sure to disable perimeter crossing, enable spiral vase, and apply 2 outside layers. I successfully used mattercontrol without encountering any issues. If desired, toggle fill settings on; however, leaving it off will result in a more lightweight print!
