About this model

I spent more time and made a more cleanly engineered one. I think I like it better than this one. Find that one here.

Apparently, according to Fusion360, I made almost 200 versions. I think I might have a problem… but I enjoyed learning some new tools and strategies.

My main goal was to make something that could get printed with a single perimeter but looks like it can't be, like how my Sierpinski pyramid model works.

* It took way more hours than reasonable to figure out the shape I wanted. It was mainly modeled by eye in Fusion 360, making faces with revolves, lofts, and rails and stitching them all together.

Bonus: I included a shelled-out version (it still has the inner ribs, for fun) for people who want it to be more substantial or don't like vase mode.

Features!

• Circular base for easy printing of the first layers
• different rib pattern on the inside
• circular top edge for rigidity
• gradual overhangs for easy printing
• no gaps. It should be watertight (don't sue me)
• it looks fabulous!
• it feels incredible! (sort of squishy in the middle)
• the vase shape is called an Olpe or Oenochoe, apparently.
