A vase from a side curve you drag into shape, a shape seen from above (round, polygon, star, flower, wavy or gear) that can melt into a circle, a relief pattern, a twist and a flat, scalloped, wavy or crowned rim. Solid for your slicer’s vase mode, or hollow with a base.

How to use it

  1. Pick a design to start from, then set the height and width.
  2. Drag the points of the side curve; click the curve to add a point.
  3. Choose the shape from above and how it runs (all the way, or round at the top/bottom).
  4. Add a pattern, a twist and a rim or lip.
  5. Pick solid (vase mode) or hollow, set the quality, and export the 3MF or STL.

What you can do

16 patterns

Ribs, spirals, lattice, honeycomb, scales, bricks, basket weave, bamboo and more, raised or carved.

Even walls

Hollow walls are measured square to the surface, so slopes and patterns never make them thin.

Your quality

Choose the segments round and the layer height, up to very smooth curves.

Tips

For vase mode, slice the solid model with “spiral vase” on.

Keep overhangs under about 45° so the vase prints without supports.
