Summary

The model is kind of ugly and the base doesn't fit the stand quite right but I am proud of how it turned out never the less. This vase is meant to be printed at 100% scale in 2 sections then joined together (allowing it to print on a Wanhao Duplicator).

Post-Printing

Sanded down the upper and lower section seam a bit to achieve a tight interference fit. Glued together with epoxy.

Roughed the whole outer surface with Scotch-Brite to prep for paint (could have used various sand papers and got a better finish)

Painted with Porsche Yellow and Ford Blue allowing gradient. Clear coated to seal.
