Summary

This is a Low-Poly Spiral/Twist Vase, with a faceted light-reflecting surface, inspired by the Low-poly Rose Twist Vase by Riskable, and made wider to fit more flowers.
Looks great in shiny and multi-color filaments, and sparkles when rotated!

Model turned out a bit large, so I typically scale it down to 75% or around 200mm tall. Tho even smaller also looks great, 50% prints quickly and is still plenty functional.

I designed this from scratch using OpenSCAD. However, instead of using a sine wave, as Riskable did, I manually "sculpted" the shape I wanted. I think it turned out pretty good, and might even be more sparkly!

Variant2 is an alternate version, with a slightly different twist, not sure which looks better, but I still like the first one. I can make further variants, if people are interested.

This is designed for Vase mode printing, so in your slicer software, look for "Spiralize Outer Contour", "Spiral Vase Mode", "Spiral Printing", or just "Vase Mode".

For strong vases, I set my Outer Wall Line Width (External Perimeter Width) to 0.8, and 5 bottom layers. That way they almost always turn out water-proof! ;)
