Vase mode is the only time your printer is achieving its full 3D printing capabilities. All other methods I would consider 2.5D printing. Vase mode allows you to print continuously without pausing to go up to the next layer. The only downside to this is that you’re limited to only one perimeter wall which makes your prints very fragile. 

This model explores what’s possible allowing you to print multiple perimeter walls in vase mode! 

*** Some people reached out to me and were having trouble printing this in slicers other than Cura. The tolerances on this model are extremely tight and by default, slicers like Orca slicer as well as Galaxy slicer close small gaps in models. If your slicers does this, you will not be able to print this in vase mode. You need to ensure your settings allow for EXACTLY 0.35mm - 0.40mm line width. Any deviation from this and this print will not work. If you can't slice it, try slicing in cura***
 

How to print: 

layer height: 0.15~0.32mm

layer width: 0.35~0.4mm

special mode: vase mode

top/bottom values: set to 0

 

I have only tested this design with PETG for its rigidity as well as how pretty it looks in vase mode with thicc layers. 
 

this should be extremely easy to print and is an amazing showcase of what your 3D printer is capable of. 

 

Oh, and the phone stand works pretty dang good as well :)

 

Happy printing!! 
 

***update 9/20/2023 added an STL file, works better in some slicers vs 3MF***
