I am working on more tutorials that include fancier vases building on this one, case design for a circuitboard, custom glasses, printer mods, etc. In the yellow vase image, you can see all the triangles generated by different STL export settings. The 'fine' setting file is nearly 10 times larger than the 'coarse' file. This means it can be more taxing on your slicer, but it will result in a smoother vase.
