Skull Bowl - Vase mode

Can be used for a plant, as a bowl for candies or tealight cover etc.
Easy and rather fast to print, even on low layer height

Original model size is 110x160x100mm
Real life skull size is around 140-150% of this model

Sculpted in Blender 3D
It's simplified, not real anatomical model. Mainly because of the angles for vase mode and my lack of skills or laziness ;)

There is a full skull too (without cutted off top part). Print it with some infill then.

Print settings:

As it is for vase mode you don't use any supports, infill or top layers.
Use at least few bottom layers to be able to use it as a bowl for candies

Real size skull should be around 140-150% size of the model 
I tested it in slicer with 1.0mm nozzle and 0.2mm layer height - it looked good
If you will print with highier layers or with even bigger scale check if there is no holes in layer view, especially near nose.

The model is optimized for vase mode but it doesn't mean that you don't need to proper set the slicer for your printer (like nozzle size or cooling) or size of the model.
To avoid any holes in print you have many options:
- Lower layer height
- Use highier flow (easiest way) or bigger nozzle
- Use slower speed (at least around nose part - but it's better to have the same speed on whole print) 
- Add more cooling
Every option above will make your print better. Combine few for best quality.
It's still easy and fast to print model so you don't need to rush, take your time with the print.
