Brocca
The idea of this model is to make a spiral object like a vase, but also useful.
I used cura engine on repetier host, and for the red and green translucent PETG i set a temperature of 220°C , a shell thickness of 1 mm, a Top/Bottom thickness of 1 mm, and spiralize contour in general extruder setting. I changed the nozzle with a 0,8 mm nozzle and set layer to 0,3mm.
I also set minimum layer time to 10 seconds ( in spiral mode is a "turn" ), for me was the best layer time to avoid deformations of the structure without cooling. Is possible to have the same result with a little percentage of cooling but is difficult to set right.
The result for me was impressive ... i scaled the model X 2.1 ( in photo ) and contain about 1 liter ( 1134 cm cube, 26 mt of 1,75 mm filament, about 2 hours ).
