This decorative vase is designed in Fusion 360, featuring a dynamic parametric shape and sculptural grooved surface ideal for spiral/vase mode 3D printing. The continuous curves emphasize the potential of advanced perimeters and the organic style, resulting in a unique and modern accent piece suitable for both decoration and print quality benchmarking. The geometry has been carefully planned for clean slicing and precise extrusion, utilizing modern wall generators such as Arachne for crisp details and reliable layer bonding.

Print Profile Details

Layer height: 0.24

Print mode: Spiral/Vase mode

Wall generator: Arachne (recommended for smooth and consistent walls)

Bottom layers: 7

Wall/line thickness: 0.8 mm for extra strength and water resistance

Additional settings: In my setup, the vase is waterproof, but results may vary by material and print speed; for extra reliability, a profile with two outer walls is provided above spiral mode.

Recommended materials: Basic PLA or PETG. PLA is easier to print and provides vivid colors, while PETG offers superior flexibility and durability, making it better for containers or items exposed to moisture.

Notes: The vase holds water with these settings, but print speed, filament quality, and printer calibration can impact the final result. Always test water resistance before practical use, and consider experimenting with print temperatures and wall settings for optimal performance.

These parameters make the vase watertight in most cases; however, results depend on your printer, material, and settings. PLA and PETG are both excellent choices, with PETG offering better durability for long-term use. For best reliability, use 0.8 mm walls (or two wall lines) and check waterproofness after printing.
