- Easy to Print: Designed for simple printing with no supports required.
Printing Guidelines
This model is straightforward to print. Here are the recommended settings for the best results:
- Material: Works great in standard PLA for general use. For more durability and a more premium look, consider using Matte PLA, PLA-CF, or even PETG.
- Nozzle Size: Standard 0.4mm.
- Layer Height: 0.2mm is recommended to capture the detail of the fluting without excessively long print times.
- Wall Count: 2 walls
- Infill: 15-20% Grid or Gyroid works well.
- Supports: NO SUPPORTS REQUIRED. The model is designed to print flawlessly as a single piece.
- Top/Bottom Layers: 5 top and 3 bottom layers for a solid finish.
Aesthetic and Material Recommendations
To achieve the best Japandi aesthetic:
- Colors: Choose natural, earthy, or muted tones. Excellent choices include Matte White, Cream, Beige, Sand, or a natural Stone-effect filament. The texture looks particularly stunning with matte or semi-matte finishes.
- Placement: Place it on a wooden console table (as seen in the photo), an oak nightstand, or a polished concrete desk to really make the texture and simple form pop.

- Diameter: Approx. 200mm (scaled as modeled, can be resized)
