Dragon Yarn Bowl / 3MF Included

Dragon Yarn Bowl / 3MF Included - I've tried multiple different yarn bowl patterns and have struggled with the swirl overhang. Drives me crazy. I've wasted tons of filament (See photo of failed attempts. And that's not all of them). I finally got this dragon yarn bowl to work after manually adding more tree supports. I use Prusaslicer on an Ankermake printer. I watched a few Youtube videos on how to add extra supports to the swirl. Then went into Prusa and changed the support style to Organic (aka Tree); changed the Top Contact Z Distance to 0.2; and the Branch Diameter to 5. Some of the issues I had were that the tree supports would fall over halfway through building them, but before the reached the height where they would do any good. Increasing the diameter of them to 5 seemed to help. The supports will be hard to get off of the swirl. You'll need a clipper. I broke a swirl off one because I was in too much of a rush to break off the supports. I noticed a few thin spots on the bottom of the bowl around the edges. I'm not sure if that's something I did or if the designer can add a few more layers of filament to the design (Sorry, I'm new to 3D printing and still learning all these things). Love the finished product and I'm glad I found this design. - 3d model
