Exclusive! Moire Vase - Print-in-place concentric shell vase
🕑 Added 2019-12-12 22:06:25 +0000 UTCHey, wonderful people! :D
Wow, it's already mid-December, where has the month gone?! Where has the year gone for that matter?! It probably isn't a surprise that I find myself marking the passage of time by what things I've been printing, and the latest printed milestone in my life is another multi-part print-in-place design, but we have no hinges here.
Rather, this is a double-walled vase (not vase mode, obviously, just a vase in the regular sense of the word) in which the two walls may move around each other. I've always loved the moire patterns formed by overlaid grids and the dynamic effects of sliding patterns over each other, and wondered if we could get the same effect in a kind of cylindrical form. Clearly, the cylinder ended up as a sphere by the time I was done :)
The two parts are permanently bound together, and can't be taken apart (non-destructively, anyway!). I'm going to pretend that there's some deep symbolism in that.
Creative Printer supporters will find this in the dropbox! Oh, and if anyone wants a version of this that has full walls on the inner part, let me know and I'll go whip up another version; I made the pattern push right through just for maximum visibility, but obviously there's an advantage to having a container without a bunch of holes in it :P
Have fun! :D
