Organic Voronoi Sphere Vase / Candle Holder

This is a spherical decorative vase featuring an organic "Voronoi" cellular pattern. The uneven, web-like structure creates a modern look that fits perfectly in contemporary interiors.

How to use:

• Decor: Looks great as a standalone art piece on a shelf or coffee table.

• Lighting: Perfect as a shade for an LED candle or fairy lights. It casts amazing organic shadows on the walls when lit from inside.

• Storage: Can be used as a holder for dried flowers or large objects (not suitable for small items due to the holes).

⚠ Safety Note: Use ONLY with LED lights/candles. Do not use real flame candles, as the heat will deform the plastic.

Print Instructions

• Printer Brand: Creality (or any FDM printer)

• Material: PLA, PETG, or Silk PLA (for a shiny look)

• Nozzle: 0.4 mm

• Layer Height: 0.2 mm

• Infill: 15-20% (or 100% if the walls are thin)

• Walls (Perimeters): 3 (Recommended for strength)

• Supports:

  • Option A (Advanced): None. If your printer has good part cooling (like K1C), this model can often bridge the gaps.

  • Option B (Safe): Tree Supports (Organic). If you are unsure, turn on tree supports touching the buildplate to support the steepest overhangs.

• Brim: Recommended if bed adhesion is poor, as the contact area is relatively small.

• Tip: Use Arachne wall generator for better quality on thin struts.

Post-Processing Tip (Painting): Due to the complex organic overhangs, raw FDM prints might show some minor imperfections or layer inconsistencies (as seen in the photos). For the best aesthetic result, I highly recommend:

1. Lightly sanding any rough spots.

2. Applying a coat of filler primer or spray paint. Painting not only hides the print artifacts but can also give the vase a premium ceramic or metallic look.
