3D Printed Vases


Relearning parametric design after a few years I 3D printed a series of vases and catch-alls. Each form was created in Rhino using Grasshopper, taking advantage of its generative capabilities to experiment with structure, proportion, and variation.

The pieces were printed using Prusa’s “vase mode,” a spiralized single-wall technique that allows for efficient, continuous printing. I pushed the limits of material flow by using a 1.8mm nozzle—enabling wall thicknesses up to three times the nozzle diameter, resulting in intentional layer lines with surprising strength and overall print speed.

This ongoing series has been both a technical study and a playful excuse to visit the local farmers market for fresh flowers.
