Print Settings:

This model was created and optimized for FDM printers with vase mode enabled. For best results:

• Use spiral vase mode WITHOUT the "smooth spiral" option checked in your slicer settings. If your slicer doesn’t have this option, just ensure Spiralize Outer Contour (or similarly named vase/spiral mode) is enabled.
• Set your slice gap closing radius to 0. This ensures the slicer won’t close necessary gaps, critical for proper vase mode printing.

Printing Tip:
Enable the “Skirt” option in your slicer to maintain consistent nozzle pressure from the start. Without it, the first layer’s corners may appear deformed due to unprimed nozzle pressure.

While this may sound complex, slicing this model is simple as long as you follow the instructions. If you encounter any trouble, feel free to leave a comment—I’ll respond as soon as I can!

Your work—especially on the Spiral Vase Mode Octahedroflake—did more than just influence my designs. When I first saw it, I was so incredibly drawn to its intricate patterns, and that moment sparked my obsession with fractal geometry. Exploring this realm has reshaped the way I think about Art and Math and pushed me to keep learning, experimenting, and sharing. I’m truly grateful for your inspiration and the passion it ignited in me.
