I wanted a nestable box design, often I only need temporary boxes or want to print them ahead and put them aside for later use without wasting a lot of space.  I made 2 designs. I personally prefer the one with the flat walls and the flanged edge. It prints in almost half the time, needs less horizontal space when nested and imo the structure is strong enough.

But I know ppl might want more strength and prefer a bit more of a fancy design over functionality, so there's also the structured wall version. :)

Print Settings:

You need to enable the vase mode in your slicer. Your slicer will automatically set all necessary settings after clicking vase mode. 

Generic advice:

Use a big nozzle. Your filament needs to have a good layer adhesion, with only printing 1 wall it can easily fail here. So you need a decent filament and it has to be well tuned on your printer. Slowing down the print speed or increasing the flow can also help.

Due to just having one wall those boxes are a bit fragile, but the structure is still giving them some strength.
