There are several options for stems to attach to my Spiral Vase Rose print, but I wanted to see if I could design one that prints in spiral vase mode. I think this turned out fairly sturdy for a vase mode print; it also looks cool printed in a translucent filament.
This is designed primarily with the small (5cm) version of my Spiral Vase Rose in mind; the base has a diameter of about 4cm. The stem itself is 1cm wide.
The main version (stem_final.stl) has some small curves in the stem to give it a more organic feel, but I've also included an unadulterated straight version, which you could try bending yourself either digitally or post-printing, with the application of heat. I have also included two versions of the model that are essentially doubled up on stem height and too tall, so if you want a longer stem, you can just chop off the excess top at the desired height before you print it (this is fairly easy to do in Prusa slicer with the ‘cut’ function.)
If you are placing the stem in an opaque container, you can also supplement or vary the height of the stem by inserting some wire or a thin stick in the bottom.
