Droplet Vase with Noisy Rippled Texture (vase mode)

This minimalist droplet vase features a fascinating organic texture that immediately catches the eye. The noisy surface pattern creates a striking appearance that comes to life when printed in shiny or transparent materials like silk PLA or PETG. The vase maintains a sophisticated, elegant look despite its complex textured surface. The graceful drop shape makes it perfect for displaying dried flowers or as a standalone decorative piece.

Recommended nozzle diameter and print settings 

For sturdy vase mode prints, a larger nozzle (0.8mm+) and thicker extrusion lines (1.0mm+) are recommended. This combination creates a strong, single-walled structure that compensates for the lack of multiple walls and infill.

Slicer setting: vase mode / spiralize outer contours ENABLED 
Nozzle diameter: 0.8mm, 1mm, or larger 
Bottom layers: 8 
Perimeter speed range: 15 - 30 mm/s
Layer height range: 0.3 mm - 0.5 mm  
Extrusion width / wall thickness range: 1mm, 1.2mm or 1.4mm+ 
Watertight: is possible, but experimental: print hotter than usual (+10 degrees), use a low layer height and lower print speed for improved layer adhesion.
