Description

A random object made to test the new Netfabb profiles for Ultimaker. Works great as a toothbrush cup! I printed mine with the Standard VASE profile (0.15mm layersize).

(PLEASE DOWNLOAD V2 instead of randomvase.stl)

V2: Fixed some angles which might have prevented slicing and printing with certain layer sizes. Re-edited the topology on the top and bottom sides.
Also added a version with thick walls, if anyone wants to print it that way, should work in skeinforge too.

Added a 3 mm wall version.

Instructions

Print the solid one with no infill and no upskins. Good luck!

PS. It's supposed to be 10 cm tall. I don't know if 3dsmax exported the STL in the right size, so check it before printing. Or don't. :)

PPS. I think the scale is correct now.

Have you used openscad to generate this vase?

Would you share it?

I've began to reverse-engineer it, but I'm confused with the computation of the edges...

Thanks a lot :)

hi there. no, unfortunately I don't use openscad. I work in 3dsmax. this is a segmented box with procedural noise and finished by hand. basically I moved the vertices around until it 'felt right' ;)

Would love to see this as an interactive vase creator

I've used a modified version of this model to make table lamps for a little Jazz Festival in Switzerland. It came out really nice. Thank you for the base. Here are a couple of images from the festival.

(Just to clarify I'm a student in architecture and did not earn any money from the making of those lamps)

No problem. I used to be an architecture student too, hehe. Good work with all that, I like the moody atmosphere. Thanks a lot for sharing the pics, I'll post some on my FB to brag a bit if you don't mind. :)

I'd still like a thinner-walled version. I'll accept that I can't slice a single-walled one, but I wouldn't mine one with about a 3mm wall; that would still look great!

And voila, there it is. Good luck printing. :)

I cannot get it to slice completely hollow, even when fill is set to 0. There are random areas throughout where it tries to put in partial fills. Also there is a top. How do I fix this?

The piece is modeled as a solid with some strange overlaps on some triangles. I've had a go at fixing it in netfabb and will try a print later to see how it goes.

Both sound like skeinforge issues. Since I don't use it, I'm not really the person to ask about skeinforge settings. Sorry :( Hopefully, someone who understands it better can help you, so I can post the instructions.
