Sirocco Vase - Wind-Swept Sculpted Crown

Sirocco is a one-piece sculptural vase shaped as if a steady wind had moved through it. The centerline bends gently in two directions, the oval body turns as it rises, and the opening finishes in a continuous swept crown instead of a conventional flat rim.

The high and low sides of the opening differ by almost 30 mm, producing a strong silhouette without separate parts or decorative surface patterns. The outer and inner walls follow the same spatial rim, so the crown is real printable geometry rather than a visual render effect.

FEATURES

• Original wind-bent silhouette with a swept asymmetric crown
• Almost 30 mm of height change around the continuous rim
• One-piece, support-free design
• Approx. 108.6 × 101.9 × 219.8 mm
• Smooth continuous inner vessel
• Modeled 2.35 mm radial wall offset and 3.8 mm bottom
• Stable footprint and gradual print-friendly transitions
• High-resolution closed manifold STL
• Blender source included

PRINT SETTINGS

• Orientation: upright, exactly as supplied
• Nozzle: 0.4 mm
• Layer height: 0.20 mm; use 0.16 mm for a smoother swept crown
• Line width: 0.42–0.46 mm
• Walls/perimeters: 4 recommended; 3 minimum
• Top solid layers: 4–5
• Bottom solid layers: 8–10
• Infill: 0%
• Supports: none
• Brim: optional 5–7 mm
• Outer-wall speed: 30–40 mm/s
• First-layer speed: 15–25 mm/s
• Seam: aligned on the low rear side of the crown
• Arachne/variable-width wall generation recommended
• Reduce acceleration or outer-wall speed through the upper 40 mm on very fast printers

The STL already contains a modeled 2.35 mm radial wall offset and a 3.8 mm bottom. Use normal printing mode; do not enable Spiral/Vase mode.

MATERIALS

Matte PLA emphasizes the clean wind-carved silhouette. Silk PLA creates a strong moving highlight along the raised crown, while translucent or sea-glass PET-G gives the form an airy appearance.

DEVIL DESIGN PET-G STARTING PROFILE

• Nozzle: 230–240 °C; start at 235 °C
• Bed: 70–80 °C; start at 75 °C
• Part cooling: 30–50% after the first layers
• Retraction: use the calibrated PET-G value for your printer
• Dry the filament if stringing, bubbles or a rough surface appear

SCALING

The model is intended for 100% scale. Scaling to 80% reduces the radial wall offset to about 1.9 mm and the bottom to about 3.0 mm. Avoid aggressive downscaling because every modeled thickness and the crown height difference are reduced with the rest of the vase.

WATER USE

A geometrically watertight STL does not guarantee a watertight FDM print. Before using fresh flowers, test the finished print over a sink for several hours. Additional perimeters, calibrated flow, PET-G, a removable liner or a suitable interior sealant can improve water resistance.

The geometry has been digitally validated as one closed manifold component with no open edges, degenerate triangles or critical downward overhangs. The model has not yet been physically print-tested.
