Inversion Vase
Added 2022-03-14 14:48:38 +0000 UTCHello, my favourite people!
Those multicoloured coextrusion filaments have got me all inspired lately, and I set out to make something specifically to work with those toothpaste-style wonder filaments. You can of course print it in anything you like, but the coextrusion filaments really are great fun!
So, what are the specific design features we're talking about? First and foremost a whole bunch of sharply-angled intersections, most significantly those sweeping internal faces where the inner swirl meets the outer one in a curving zigzag. Both the swirl patterns are formed of sharp angles, too, of course, and both curve in their opposing directions up the height of the vase, which means the character of the colour contrast changes, too.

Further Thoughts
You might notice a certain similarity to the Reciprocal Vase here, at least in style - contrasting inner and outer swirls is just something I love. It's actually entirely different in terms of how it was designed, though. The Reciprocal Vase is constructed in code from some very specific mathematical functions, but the Inversion Vase was built from hand-drawn curves in CAD manipulated into a three dimensional form.
Besides, the Reciprocal Vase is curvy, and the Inversion Vase is pointy.
Happy printing! :)
