The Star Petal Vase features a complex, interlocking floral tessellation that wraps seamlessly around a soft, ovate form. It’s designed specifically to play with light and shadow, making it a perfect centerpiece for any desk or shelf.

The geometry is inspired by natural radial patterns, creating a tactile surface that looks just as good in a matte "ceramic" finish as it does in a high-gloss "silk" filament.

3D Printing Instructions

This model is optimized for FDM (FFF) and Resin (SLA) printing with no supports required.

Vase Mode Compatible?

Yes! This model can be printed using "Spiralize Outer Contour" or "Vase Mode."

Pro-Tip: If using a 0.4mm nozzle, set your Line Width to 0.6mm in your slicer. This forces the printer to extrude more material, making the single-wall vase significantly stronger and more durable.

Material Recommendations

Matte PLA: Gives the vase a sophisticated, stone-like appearance.

Silk PLA: Highlights the sharp peaks of the "petals" and adds a metallic sheen.

Resin: Use a semi-opaque or "tough" resin for a glass-like aesthetic.

Post-Processing & Use

Waterproofing: 3D prints are naturally porous. If you plan to use live flowers with water, I recommend coating the interior with a thin layer of waterproof epoxy or a clear sealant spray.

Scaling: This model scales beautifully. Feel free to size it up for a floor vase or down for a succulent planter!
