Description

I wanted to create a vase of my own. I like the twisted vases but I wanted to make something special. So I came up with the idea to make a double twisted vase. There are two the same parts, both twisted 90 degrees. The one twisted left, the other right. Then the file was uploaded to Netfabb to get rid of all the faults. And because of this the inside turned out to be just as special as the outside!

I printed this vase and it came out solid! Any tips to printing a hollow vase?

I got one of these printed in natural ABS. So I put one of those colour changing LED Tea Lights into it.

Here is a video of it changing colours:

Can someone enlighten me on the skienforge settings to print this with a bottom and no fill? If I turn off fill I end up with a lampshade instead of a vase. :)

You should really try out Slic3r, it's just so much less butthurt to get the results you want, you can turn set infill and "top solid layers" to 0 to get a vase.

For SF, +1 to FabLabZuidLimburg.

I sliced it with Cura. There is an option to turn of the top layers.

For Skeinforge you have to activate bottom infill and use no infill, only 2 perimeters for the wall thickness. If you are unable to remove the top infill in Skeinforge you can do it in the .gcode file. Just scroll down until you get to the last layers and delete them.
