Hello everyone,
This is a helix vase/holder that serves two different purposes:
1- Vase
2- Lampshade for small battery-powered candles
Printing in higher resolution will yield better results since there are many overhangs. Good cooling and printing with the minimum recommended temperature for your material of choice helps as well.
Also, it is highly recommended to print using Z-hop of about 1mm to prevent the nozzle from crashing the pillars in its travel moves. Lowering the speed as your print progresses is great since the pillars will shake more and more as the printing continues.
A little bit of a warning if you're using an old laptop/PC with low specs; slicing these models can take a long time especially the EXTREME version. Proceed with caution!
