As Cura describes it, 3D printing vase mode turns a solid model into a single-walled print with a solid bottom.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Unlike standard printing, Vase Mode configures the printer to never stop extruding filament, and the print head moves uninterrupted throughout the printing process, \u2018spiraling\u2019 upwards to construct the model. The extruder doesn&#8217;t retract filament, and the print head doesn&#8217;t travel between sections of the print.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As a result of this smooth motion, single path movement, and thin, single wall thickness, Cura Vase Mode prints much faster than typical modes, and uses less filament.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Limiting itself to a single-layer thickness, Cura\u2019s Vase Mode doesn&#8217;t produce long-lasting or structural resistance prints, so it&#8217;s chiefly used for decorative or display prints that don&#8217;t serve a functional purpose. If they did, they would break, shatter, or snap very easily due to their fragility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though prints made using Cura Vase Mode are fragile and slim, it\u2019s compatible with quite a few filaments, including PLA, ABS and PETG, but also flexibles like TPU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Use Cura Vase Mode?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Using Cura Vase Mode helps cut down on print times, saves filament, and improves the surface finish of objects with an unbroken outer surface or wall, with no bridges, gaps, or overhangs, that rises vertically with no top layer, such as a vase, pyramid, open top container, or lamp shade.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cura Vase Mode is also popular for applications that require a part to have very thin or light walls that allow light to permeate through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Settings for Cura Vase Mode<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a breakdown of all the parameters that affect Cura Vase Mode and our recommended best settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><thead><tr><th>Setting<\/th><th>Recommended Value<\/th><th>Notes<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Wall Line Count<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>Ensure Spiralize Outer Contour is ticked.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wall Line Width<\/td><td>Match your nozzle size (e.g. 0.4 mm for a 0.4 mm nozzle)<\/td><td>Can be increased with higher temperature and slower print speeds.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Wall Thickness<\/td><td>Match your nozzle size<\/td><td>Check your nozzle size and adapt accordingly.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Print Speed<\/td><td>No higher than 30 mm\/s, or as low as 20 mm\/s depending on filament type<\/td><td>Dial speeds lower than typical prints due to the single thickness wall used in Cura Vase Mode, otherwise, filament won&#8217;t cool sufficiently to bond before the nozzle deposits the subsequent layer.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Smooth Spiralized Contours<\/td><td>On<\/td><td>Reduces visibility of Z-axis seam for smoother surface finish.

So batch printing simply isn\u2019t an option. Fortunately, faster print times make up for this somewhat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Struggles to print large objects<\/strong>: this is because the part can struggle to support the weight on subsequent layers layered on top.
