Modular system of interlocking boxes 1.0 (for organizers and much more – CLEAN “SPIRAL VASE” STYLE MODELS)

Set your "K factor" value goddamn low and make the spool really spin because speed and strength comes together here! Let's reinvent and improve THE VASE!

Speed here doesn't just save your time:

(PET-G focused)

• Speed=Strenght. Speed helps increase strength!!! (better layer bonding due to temperature)

• Volumetric speed > 45 mm³/s achieved with a budget, long-nozzle hotend!
  (50 Watts in 3,25 cm³ of aluminium)

• Forget the delusional misconception that a larger layer height implies only a rough draft or lower print quality! A greater volume of material per layer aids in the bonding of individual layers and can even enhance their properties through improved inter-layer adhesion and increased strength in the print direction. When using PET-G for spiral (vase mode) printing with a 1mm nozzle, never set the layer height below 0.25 mm—doing so will result in a weaker and less aesthetically pleasing print!
  
  

This is a fundamental element of many of my projects. (The organizer itself can include various other components, such as compartments, doors, covers for power supplies, lighting mounts, or even a spindle for a filament spool! – coming soon). This interlocking system can serve, for instance, as a framework for organizers that can expand to suit your needs, though you will surely find many other uses for it as well. It was designed to maximize print speed and material efficiency; furthermore, it is fine-tuned for specific shapes—designs I would be happy to share, should there be interest. You can print a full kilogram of PET-G material in 24 hours (18mm long, 1mm nozz diam.), yielding nearly 20 small boxes. A 1 mm nozzle is recommended (0.8 mm is also acceptable; smaller sizes are not advised). This printing style is fantastic! When executed correctly—by optimizing temperature settings for layer bonding—the resulting object is not only printed quickly but is also strong and rigid. 90% of what I plan to share consists of models designed specifically for "spiral vase mode" printing... Enjoy!

Base module size (=the smallest possible box) is 40x30mm.
Organisers can be wall-mounted easily by using mountable back box once in 3 boxes in a row (mountable model provided for 1x3y, 5x3y and 2x7y boxes)

NOTE: 3mf files were created for a custom printer, make sure you reslice for your one!
Printing nice fast-models using spiral mode (so-called "vase mode") can be quite a challenge when exceeding 45mm3/s like I do for these! (Especially if you are using outdated or unreliable "porky" extruders—like I currently am :-D). Even if you have your slicer and printer dialed in to produce beautiful vases, that might not be enough when you try to print something more delicate and detailed—like these models. Achieving a good result might initially require a few failed attempts.

Best results with a home-polished nozzle: 

SLICING PROBLEMS? ( = you just experienced limits of nowadays slicers I am here to help improve)
Make sure to lower these values (print settings/advanced)

and set your extrusion width right below the model path width (0,89mm for this model), what needs to be compensated by rising extrusion multiplier a bit to achieve good neighboring paths bonding ...                    An ugly solution that may create overextrusion problems! Slicers need to be enhanced to fully unleash the "vase" capabilities!
