3D Printed Necromancer's Bottle - Designed by Clockspring3D
We're back in vase mode land today (that's Spiralize Outer Contour mode for the Cura users out there), and this one's a zig-zaggy snakey bottle that ends up quite rigid as far as vase mode prints go.
This one started in a completely different direction, as another vase that was intended to contrast textures. It was covered in diamond-shaped holes that expanded as they went inwards, which would normally create unprintable pockets, but thin slots running vertically provided a way for the printer to move in and out.
Those lines turned the diamond holes into vertical zigzags, and the idea of stylized zigzag snakes just couldn't be ignored! The gaps were enlarged a little, texture added and interior texture removed, and a bunch of chamfers were added to give shape while retaining that sense of angularity. And then some of those chamfers were removed since they resulted in some tricky angles for a vase mode print to handle!
