Thought I share the result of the vase design that I showed earlier. Birthday present for my 94 year old mother. Needed a LOT of support for the tubes. I decided to leave the bottom open so that it would be easier to remove after printing. Still turned out that the tubes leaked on the places where the support had been. Fixed this with some superglue. Made with BOSL2 absolute magic prism_connector ... that is an amazing piece of software. It did take 3.5 days to print it out.

 Now printing that is going to be fun.

 You could cheat and print it using a Resin printer using a
 transparent material would show off the structure. I'm sure there
 are 3d resin printing services around if you don't have one, I
 don't, just a roomful of Creality's.

 Print it in two halves as per your section and solvent weld them
 together, with some location tabs on one side to strengthen the
 joint and provide some location. [the same tricks used in the
 injection moulding process], nophead posted on his blog about
 using the solvent adhesive used by plumbers to assemble an air
 vent system.

 Or you could try putting a couple of thin webs underneath the
 centre of each tube, wide enough to get the vertical angles /
 bridging a bit more manageable.  If you need to have water
 sloshing around inside, just put some holes in the webs.

 It is because the 'user friendly angles' I love the attachment
 model of BOSL2. My friendly angles always become foes when my
 model grows :-( And you don't need a VNF to work with
 attachments. The fact that you can is a great compliment to the

 I wouldn't even know where to start doing the following model (a
 vase as birthday present for my 94 year old mother ...) with
 trigonometry... It uses the 'prism_connector' and the 'parts'
 that Adrian recently added. I therefore only need to specify

 And yes, getting rid of the Breakaway filament will be hell :-(
 And I've not been able to print with PVA yet, it always seems to
 fail.

 But it is arguably true that the learning curve of BOSL2 is
 quite steep. The documentation is excellent but it is so big and
 wide that you often miss the essence when you first start with a
 topic.

Beautiful!  How much filament, and what did you print it on?

I used HT Black from ColorFabb <https://colorfabb.com/ht-black> (printing temp 270 C/120 C plate). Including support it was about 700gram. I had ordered 2kg some time ago for a project where I needed food safety and it is said to be 'FDA Food Contact Compliant' (whatever that means). I find it not easy to print, it gets elephant feet very easy and for larger rectangular objects it warps too easy. So I had to abandon that project. So I had a about 1.5kg left ...

I don't have any clogged nozzles. With the additional bed heat I can do polycarbonate like most do PLA on 2 or them. No input shaping.  Those motors do EXACTLY, PRECISELY what they are told to do.

My friendly angles always become foes when my model grows :-( And you don't need a VNF to work with attachments. The fact that you can is a great compliment to the skills of Adrian & Revar but all common geometries like cubes, prisma's spheres, cylinders, tubes, torus, path sweeps, etc. are directly supported. Initially I was too afraid of the model to make my own components 'attachable' but it turns out that that is much easier than I thought and lets your component play along in the buildup of bigger components. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> I wouldn't even know where to start doing the following model (a vase as birthday present for my 94 year old mother ...) with trigonometry... It uses the 'prism_connector' and the 'parts' that Adrian recently added. I therefore only need to specify where I want the holes and their size and the tubes and roundings are automatically calculated. It really feels like magic. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> <PastedGraphic-1.png><PastedGraphic-3.png> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> >>>>>>> And yes, getting rid of the Breakaway filament will be hell :-( And I've not been able to print with PVA yet, it always seems to fail. >>>>>>> >>>>>>> But it is arguably true that the learning curve of BOSL2 is quite steep.
