Arboreal Vase
Added 2022-06-29 14:19:17 +0000 UTCI love making vase mode do strange things! This leafy construction still abides by all the cardinal rules of vase-mode-ery, namely that every horizontal slice can be traced as a single profile that differs only slightly from those above and below, but it gives the impression of independent columns standing out from a cylindrical inner!
If you load this up in your slicer and run the layer preview up and down, you'll see how it's all put together. Getting all those interior angles nice and friendly (and ensuring there were no unprintable pockets) is where all the time went in the development of this one!
It's always fun to see how the interior of a vase mode model like this ends up, and the textures that run down the central part really are more for the interior than the exterior.
Print Description
This is a vase mode print, so set your slicer accordingly!
Print Dimensions
The Arboreal Vase can be scaled to whatever size you like, but by default it's 93mm x 93mm on the print bed and 102mm tall.
Supports needed?
No supports required! It's vase mode!
Scalability
The Arboreal Vase will scale happily, as most vase mode models tend to!
Print Orientation
Being a vase mode print, the Arboreal Vase prints right-way-up, like so:

Further Thoughts
Not surprisingly, this one is quite rigid (by vase mode standards) because there's just so much detail, which means extra bracing against flex. It's also really the main way to get more material into a vase mode design!
Happy printing!

Weird! I haven't used Cura in a whiile, but it might be worth hopping on to the discord server and seeing if anyone else has seen that issue before!
