Conical Flask - Vase and Regular Versions!

Added 2022-01-07 14:55:16 +0000 UTC

Hey there, wonderful people!

Conical flasks are just such a cool shape. This one exaggerates that shape a little just to be a bit cuter, and features embossed hexagons, and who can say no to embossed hexagons?!

You'll notice there are no angles beyond 45 degrees in this model either upwards or downwards, because this was originally a vase mode design, and I like vase mode designs to print reliably! Well, it still is a vase mode design, but there's a second version, too, that provides thin walls for conventional printing, too.

It's an interesting thing, comparing the two. One is a much quicker print and uses much less filament, but the other is definitely stronger.

Printing Tips

Both versions are easy prints! There shouldn't be anything tricky about either - all the angles are nice and friendly and the embossing is very shallow. For the vase mode version you'll obviously want to set your slicer accordingly.

Both versions print base-down, like so:

Print Dimensions

The flasks occupy 85mm x 85mm on the print bed and are 100mm tall.

Further Thoughts

These are one of those satisfying shapes to which I find myself returning periodically - you might remember a Little Dot Flask that was somewhat reminiscent. Some shapes are just fun. Like hexagons, obviously :)
