It doesn’t print fast. It uses too much filament. It takes up a lot of space. It does a barely passable job holding pens. But it’s swirly and you love it, don’t you? Yeah… I know what you like. Go ahead, I know you’re gonna print it.
Print instructions
This is vase mode (the best mode) cup. While that’s the only real requirement, here are the setting I used:
- Spiral vase mode / Spiralize outer contour: turn this on, this is how the whole magic works
- Line Width: 0.7mm (but 0.5mm or 0.6mm should work as well)
- Layer Height: 0.3mm (not necessarily required, but I like to keep things fast)
- Bottom Thickness / Bottom Layers: 1.2mm (e.g. 4 layers at 0.3mm layer height)
- Wall speed: 30mm/s (you are pushing a lot of plastic, so a slower speed is best, though if you are confident in your hot end you can go faster)
- Printing Temperature: +10 degrees hotter than your usual temperature
- Flow: 110% (because why not)
Note
The model in the photos was printed on an Elegoo Neptune 2 with a 0.4mm nozzle in Polymaker PolyTerra arctic teal PLA.
