Vase “Betulus Tree” (Patreon)

This is the first offspring of my recently acquired bigger 3d scanning capabilities. As a huge tree fan – there are a few species that I like the most. “Carpinus Betulus” is high up the list. Due to the very intricate and detailed trunk shapes you can find a lot of variation and surprising growth within their kind.

I found this neat one late in the evening when scanning is the easiest. When you can barely see anything, the scanner works best. The scan came out very clean and I managed to reach up about 3 meters of the trunk – as far as my hands plus scanner range could reach. The scan came out particularly well detailed compared to others and I therefore wanted to show the whole thing.

What came to my mind was a Vase for a single or very few flowers. Maybe you found a particularly nice one in your garden or want to maybe gift a single rose to someone special.

The trunk was slightly tilted and to preserve this feature I added a little base to prevent it from tipping over when used.

The print is rather simple as usual, no supports but pay attention to all settings that might influence the water tightness of the outcome!

Description

A slightly tilted single flower vase based on a 3d scan. The highly complex stump form of the species “Carpinus Betulus” made this tree the perfect selection for this design.

The base is slightly enlarged to prevent the Vase from easily tipping over.

Scaling: You can scale this design up and down quite freely.

Watertight printing: If you have a well set up machine it comes automatically - Otherwise here are some tips: Increase your wall count (at least 3), level your bed nicely, decrease print speed, increase layer height (at least 0.2mm), increase print temperature, check your seam quality, calibrate your e-steps and fine tune your retraction settings to make sure no holes appear after a layer change.
