Inspired by the “3D Printing Nerd” I decided to print this cool looking thingy! I am not quite sure what it is, but it looks really cool! I printed it using “vase mode” meaning that the extruder lays down the filament in a spiral motion. This also means that the extruder doesn’t lift up and start over again at the same point. This creates a watertight part, which might be why it is called “vase mode”. Overall the print turned out very nicely, but some layering is visible. However, this was to be expected as I printed this part at a .3mm layer height.
