No, not at all. 3d printed RC model aircraft relies on vase mode to keep the skin light with foaming filament.
@justinchamberlin4195 12 күн бұрын
The trick to better vase mode prints is to crank up the line width to 150-300% of whatever you normally use. Stefan from CNC Kitchen did a video on that a couple years ago, showing that good print quality was still possible while also obtaining dramatically superior strength compared to normal line widths in vase mode. I myself modified some of the old Filament Friday profiles and tested a series of nozzle diameters, line widths, and layer heights, including a 2 mm line width from a 1 mm nozzle with a 0.36 mm layer height...that test ended up extremely strong, I believe at least as strong as if it had been printed with a non-vase mode profile and a normal infill percentage (if not stronger). I didn't do any testing of speed for these prints, but I suspect it will still be faster than a standard print so long as you don't exceed the maximum volumetric flow rate of your hot end.
@ThePajadamPL 13 күн бұрын
Just wanted to say that 0.4mm nozzle can print 1mm width lines. 0.6mm can do 1.6mm. Do your own "max line width" testing - not every printer is the same. Have fun!
@n0vaph0enix 13 күн бұрын
I think your making the all-too-common fallacy people experience with vase mode printing, and that is thinking that all that is needed is to tick a box. This will always get you weaker prints if you don’t increase your line width, since 0.4mm is still 0.4mm regardless of whether it’s vase mode or not. A 0.6 mm nozzle can easily print 0.8-1.0mm line widths, and as long as you have settings to limit speeds based on max flow rate, you won’t under extrude. I do this all the time and there are many issues I have with current slicers and vase mode (eg hard-set slicer or firmware limits, inability to mix settings for optimised object printing etc), but strength is definitely not one of them… if you make sure you think about the requirements of the finished object beforehand and don’t just leave it up to the printer or slicer to figure out the intent. Depending on the object, and setup (max print speed of printer, max flow of material possible), then you may find vase mode only knocks off small percentages of speed (especially if you can print non vase mode at the max flow rate possible for the material), but one thing we still can’t argue about is final surface quality of vase vs non-vase mode. Vase mode still reigns supreme, which is I wish slicers to spend more time expanding capabilities of this mode rather than the “one and done” approach they all use at present.
@donoteatmikezila 11 күн бұрын
This video kind of misses the mark. Saying vase mode is dead because new, expensive printers exist that print non-vase parts faster doesn't really make sense.
@beauregardslim1914 13 күн бұрын
If you only use vase mode for speed, yeah, probably. I have always thought of it as "seamless mode", and use it for artsy stuff and some mechanical applications (e.g. sleeves for bearings) where I really don't want seams.

The other advantage of vase mode is there is no seam line. Perhaps the new scarf seams in Orca slicer will further make vase mode redundant, but it is still very new.

I printed some lampshades using vase mode. I had a lamp base originally designed for those antique style lamps, but wanted to use them for colour changing LED’s. To hide the LED lamps I designed and printed a lampshade that I stuck to the lamp base. Using a white PLA filament, vase mode gave me a lampshade thin enough to allow the light to shine through them. I have also printed some Christmas trees in vase mode, and by placing a hole in the bottom I can insert a small string of battery operated lights into them. Once again the thinness of vase mode allows the diffused lights to shine through, and made them a great table centrepiece.
@SianaGearz 12 күн бұрын
Single wall prints introduce a corner weak spot unless they're vase mode. So vase mode is still good to conserve weight and material. You can introduce structure into the vase mode sides to make them more rigid. Stop using brittle PLA. Use PETG or HIPS. Use wider extrusion width than 0.4, you can just extrude 0.8mm in vase mode on a 0.4mm nozzle and you don't have to worry about ooze and underextrusion issues stemming from inability of the extruder to compensate pressure on retracts and restarts, you can ramp the speed up as well.
@MisterkeTube 12 күн бұрын
OR ... Keep doing vase mode, but put the outer wall line width to 0.8mm. That gives you a wall almost as wide as your 2 walls in normal mode, but ... will avoid having a seam and as the entire top is one single long extrusion, it will be stronger than those 2 x 0.4mm walls.
@nvrprfct9176 12 күн бұрын
if your walls are too thin with vase mode, get a bigger nozzle. not that I disagree that vase mode is dead, but to be blunt it seems to me like you aren't fully utilizing nozzle sizes or high flow hotends. for regular things like boxes, it makes sense to get the biggest nozzle you're comfortable with for walls (maybe 1mm in this case?) and then print in vase mode, and max out flow rate. if it's still going too slow for you, buy a hotend with more flow.

I was making a shield for LCD screen. It was a plate with two L flanges for spacing and mounting. It was 2 layers at 0.6 nozzle. Printed with PETG, normal slicing resulted in excessive travel, reactions, and quality issues. I tried spiral mode, it worked great! Fast and great quality. Spiral is not just for open geometries.

If you get a thick nozzle you can make pretty tough vases because you can also overextrude a bit (example 1.2 mm walls with a 0.8 mm nozzle). But the real advantage is complete lack of seam. I still use it sometimes on my Annex K3, where I am minimum layer time limited (cooling) and I could print a non vase mode in exactly the same time.
@JenSalik_ 12 күн бұрын
You can extrude 3 mm walls, too. You just have to slow down a bit to not exceed the maximum flow of your hotend.

You should really switch to a .6mm nozzle, or even larger, if you're trying to print stronger boxes. But only if you got a CHT or a highflow hotend that can get the center molten. Stefan at CNCKitchen has a video on that.

Instead of a wider nozzle, you could just use 0.6mm walls on a 0.4mm nozzle. The only reason I print with 0.45mm at all anymore is when I want finer details in my outer wall, and even then it's only the outer wall.

@@meisievannancy CHT made a high flow nozzle a while ago. The 0.6mm thing is still limited by the flow rate of the nozzle, but you can use some more reasonable speeds for it. You also get more material with one move. Were the regular prints even at high flow rate? That might explain a lot as well.

I am using a 0.8mm nozzle in vase mode. I make my parts with a slit in them so they are all technically a C with ends that are so close they touch. I then print at 1.5mm extrusion width, for a 3mm thick part that prints crazy fast. I then redesigned the picatinny rails so that my rifle handguard prints standing on it's back. It was going great until I realized I wanted holes in the side for rail slots. Otherwise it was pretty awesome. Going to design a stock that prints in multiple vase mode parts and slots together.

Interesting video. Made me think a bit, and then I thought about something. Not everyone has high speed printers. My fastest one isn't much faster than my Ender S1, that is my new Ender 3 V3 SE. Mostly because I print detailed stuff, It cannot get up to speed. Also the default settings are 60mm outer wall, 90mm/s inner wall. This is supposed to be a 180mm/s profile. SMH. I wonder if the K1 0.6mm nozzle will fit on my E3V3SE? On my E3S1 with a 0.6mm nozzle with extrusion with of 1.2mm {200%} I get a 1.2mm thick wall on my prints. The thing is I love printing bowls and such to store things. So these are all vase mode friendly. And using FF fast profile I get a vase mode print, same wall thickness as 3 walls on a 0.4mm nozzle in less time. I also don't get the seem lines.... For items I don't care about the finish too much, I use a 0.4mm layer height. Speeds it up even more. FYI: I once sliced Dave's Makes Stuff's I love 3D Printing mug for the 0.6mm nozzle with a 0.4mm layer height, and printed it on my second Ender 3 S1 with the 0.4mm nozzle. It came out fine! I was surprised that a 0.4mm nozzle could print 0.4mm layer heights without an issue.

@TNX255 10 күн бұрын
Of course it hasn't become obsolete. In the case you described, you can get just as sturdy and thick walls in vase mode by just increasing your line width. You don't even have to change nozzles from 0.4, as that can print up to 1.2mm walls. I've tried, works fine and speeds up prints nicely. Of course if you do change your nozzle, you can get even wider lines at once.

I use vase mode when I am making a mold box for silicone rubber. It will hold the silicone for the molding process and then is easily broken off the cured silicone rubber. The actual mold part, I print normally and glue it to the vase mode printed box. Mix silicone and pour into mold and after curing the outside box comes off pretty easily. So, I am using the fragile characteristic to my advantage. Other than that, it is pretty much useless as the prints are very fragile.

0.8mm nozzle with 1.2mm extrusion width is pretty sturdy and works very well for vases.

Arguably PLA is the wrong material for any type of thin-wall prints, PETG and HIPS can take more of a back and forth flex by orders of magnitude and have great cohesion and layer bond. PETG doesn't like speed changes and has a tendency to ooze but this means it performs much better on vase mode prints than usually.

@@matbroomfield try 0.6 to 0.8 extrusion width with your 0.4 nozzle and use PETG and see if that works. 0.45 as the standard width is indeed too thin.

I've never really liked vase mode. I did see a video a year or so ago from the channel BV3D and he done something similar to this and calls it Fake vase mode. I have done a few prints like that and it works well, I've not used vase mode since making a fake vase mode profile

It's not vase mode that's dead or should die. It's the ender 3.

Let's be honest, vase mode isn't hugely useful to begin with. Even for a vase or desk tidy you really need a thicker shell. I've wonder if it might be useful for making moulds or something but only for shapes with simple perimeters. Even an overhang scuppers it. A "vase mode" which has a couple of perimeters and 0% infill is probably more useful and would deal with some overhangs. Speaking of moulds, I wonder if there is a simple tool that can take a model, invert it, and create a 2, 3 or 4 part mould. Even better if it allows control of parting lines, sprues and registrations.

I stopped using vase mode a long time ago.
