QuadraVase

Updated: Added a lid for the straight QuadraVase. The lid is scaled to 150% for scaled 150mm QuadraVase. I added a scaled 150% vase as well. If you want the lid for the 100% (100mm) vase, scale the lid to 15.52mm (66.7%). The lid will fit pretty tight and if you have good adhesion you can push it all the way in as shown in the photo. I thought it might break the vase, but it does not after pressing it in and removing it numerous times. ABS is somewhat flexible. I don't know how PLA would deal with the stress. PETg might be fine too.

Two different versions for your 3D printing pleasure, one straight and one twisted.

The models are completely solid and must be set up in your slicer to produce a vase. Do not print them solid! Use your slicer to generate a single layer side wall with 2 or 3 bottom layers and no top layer.

The one in the photo is is white ABS. 240/100C. No fan. No support. .38mm layers. About 1 hour 45 minutes scaled to 150mm high. You can scale to achieve a print time or size you like.

I just noticed that the straight version has some strange faces around the middle where the twisted one does not. That happens somewhere in the translation to .stl. If I have time and figure out why, I will update the model file.

Notes:

My Taz 4 is updated with an AO Hex hot end, 18mm inductive probe, PEI top with .04 thick black anodized aluminum sheet clamped along with the PEI above the stock glass heated bed.

Not-official 1.1 Marlin firmware for Taz 5. Makes a lot of difference over how the machine worked when I first bought in in 2014.
