Strategist Vase (Patreon)

Hey there, wonderful people!

Back to the magical world of vase mode printing!  We have here a very robust, stoic looking vase that unintentionally reminds me of chess pieces, hence the name.  It started out as a pair of vases twisting around each other but at some point they merged into a single twisty, ribby structure.  It's funny how these things evolve!

The ribs achieve more than just a decorative purpose, though - they are instrumental in building strength, which is particularly useful for a vase that looks good in notorously-fragile silk filaments!  You'll notice there are no horizontal cross-sections that are a simple curve - there are wiggly wobbly bits all the way from top to bottom.

Print Description

This is a vase mode print, so set your slicer accordingly!

Scalability

This one will scale easily - it's a vase mode print and should do just fine scaled up or down!

Further Thoughts

I'm such a sucker for these multi-colour filaments!  I had fully intended this one for printing in matte, solid colour filament but I fell in love with the shiny, shiny multicolour version the moment it appeared on the printer :)

I wonder how it would look in a nice translucent....

Happy printing!
