Velocity Painted Helix Vases

@Fillamentum1 Pearl Violet PLA and @Faberdashery_Ltd Cherry Blossom Pink PLA at 230C and Rigid Ink Blue PET-G at 250C(!). The advantage of the PET-G is that it would happily take the heat if used as a light shade for example, and it’s tough.

I created a tessellating stripe in Photoshop and mapped that on to the vase using cylindrical mapping. 13mm/s and 40mm/s print speed, 0.6mm perimeter on a 0.4mm nozzle. Single extruder @Think3dPrint3d Kossel Mini, printed onto a PEI bed.

Rather beautiful – particularly the pink in real life (not so much on camera).

#VelocityPainting is mapping a pattern onto a print by modulating the print speed (not the temperature). It’s done by post-processing the GCODE using the script at Home · MarkWheadon/velocity-painting Wiki · GitHub

FYI I’m auctioning my prototype print of the sloping vase with the velocity painted translucent window (the grey and blue vase I posted a short while ago).

It’s on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/3D-Printed-Velocity-Painted-Vase-Prototype-/192134953301?hash=item2cbc22b955:g:fSAAAOSw4CFYz8et

or in the UK: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3D-Printed-Velocity-Painted-Vase-Prototype-/192134953301?hash=item2cbc22b955:g:fSAAAOSw4CFYz8et

It’s an attempt to fund the filament I’m getting through at the moment :smiley:

That vase you auction looks pretty good.
I like it but, the blue part is not smooth unlike the grey part (at least in pictures) & is not water-tight (why?).
I am also concerned about stability (with that non-flat bottom).
If you consider redoing one adjusted i`ll surly want it!

The pressure changes in the hot end due to the changes in velocity that introduce the pattern in the blue part causes the slow parts to be thicker than the fast parts. The blue translucent part actually looks rather pretty when the light hits it in real life. It’s not watertight because it is printed in a mode which means it has only one perimeter, which means the junction between the base and wall tends to not be water tight for example. I find that’s the case with any spiral printed vase.

It’s fairly stable. It’s been sitting at home with four or five thick stemmed artificial flowers in it for example without falling over.

But if you want a solid, stable, practical vase then you’re right, this probably isn’t for you!

Here are said thick-stemmed artificial flowers :slight_smile:
