Watertight Vase
By that I mean this part will hold real water and not leak. I have printed several vase-like parts before, and they all leaked when I put water in them. This makes such parts far less useful than if they were water tight.
This part has double walls - not counting the spiral ribs which are really just decoration - and each wall is made with 4 loops. The bottom is also double walled with each surface made with 4 layers.
The second photo shows what a layer height of 0.300 mm looks like. Normally I use 0.200 mm, but I wanted to see if increasing this as a way to reduce total print time would be OK. The final result is not as good as 0.200 mm, but I still think it is acceptable.
I used Craftware to slice the part, after running the original STL file through 3D Builder to correct errors. Total print time for this part was 11 hours 11 minutes. If you want to print this yourself you can find the STL file here

great job~~~ you're awesome~~~if you use more than 0.2mm height, layer to layer maybe not stick well . also you can mix some abs glue ( by abs + acetone) to fill out gap / small holes.

Andrew - thanks. But you haven't seen all the parts I've scrapped. The good news is that once there is a good model set up it is very easy to generate new/different shapes and sizes.
YouDe: I have a piece of ABS and some acetone, but all my prints are PLA and I don't think the 2 are compatible. I understand ABS people use the mix to paint their build plate to get better adhesion.

PLA use THF would be well. but some place not easy to get it. : ) or u can try Epoxy too。
