This latest addition to the VESUVIUS Collection, is a small cylindrical pot/container featuring the same dense herringbone ribs that increase part strength while creating a dramatic form.

VESUVIUS 003 is 50 mm tall and 94 mm in diameter. This was designed for use with my 140 mm Floating Drip Tray to catch excess water runoff.

Printing Guidelines

The VESUVIUS series of prints are designed to be printed in vase/spiral mode in your slicer. For full scale I suggest printing VESUVIUS 003 with a 0.8 mm nozzle width (even with a 0.4mm nozzle) and 1.2mm of solid bottom layers. No top layers. Make sure your slicer is not set to close small gaps. In BambuStudio I set the 'Slice gap closing radius' to 0 mm

For the 'wHole' version of the vase mode print, use the maximum number of solid bottom layers before the holes are covered to avoid interfering with the spiral printing. You can also print the version without holes and simply drill/cut your own drainage holes in the bottom after printing if you plan on growing live plants.

I've also included a 'Solid' version for standard printing, with roughly 1.2mm thick walls. This will be extra strong, but uses much more material, and I've found the vase mode version to be preferable.

Photographed models were printed on the Bambu Lab X1-Carbon 3D Printer using Fillamentum PLA Extrafill Sky Blue and Signal Red (also at MatterHackers).* *These affiliate links give me a commission on sales at no additional cost to you. Thanks for supporting Make Anything!
