The Kentra vase features a contemporary and geometric design that makes it an elegant and modern furnishing object, perfect for housing small succulents or cacti. With an outer diameter of 120 mm and a height of 62 mm, the Kentra vase offers a suitable design to highlight the natural beauty of the hosted plant; the inner diameter is between 72.5 mm and 80 mm.
The structure of the Kentra vase is slightly flared, consisting of rounded faces that meet to form a series of recesses, cavities, and curves that capture light, creating interesting plays of shadows and reflections. The internal thickness is 4mm with a rounded upper edge that adds softness to the design. This effect can be further enhanced by the choice of color.
The printing of this vase has been optimized to ensure robustness and durability over time. It is recommended to use a printing configuration with 3 or 4 walls to achieve the right stability and waterproofness. For the lower and upper shell, 4 layers are recommended. The internal filling, suggested between 10 and 15% with a rectilinear pattern, offers a good compromise between lightness and structural solidity. The nozzle size of 0.4 mm, a standard value that allows for good surface detail without compromising printing time.
A significant advantage in printing the Kentra vase is that no supports or rafts are needed. Its design has been conceived to avoid overlaps or hanging parts that could require additional supports, thus facilitating the printing process and reducing waste material.
