Description
Greek Vase – Multi-Part Printable Model
This vase portrays Greek soldiers and a chariot in battle. It is designed in the style of a black-figure amphora, one of the main forms of pottery decoration in ancient Greece between 700–500 BCE. Back then, the function of these vases was to store and transport liquids (wine, oil, water, honey) or dry goods (grain, legumes). Today, it serves as an excellent decorative piece, and in this version, it can also be used as a container with a removable lid.
Notes for the Non-AMS Version
- Before assembling, please read the assembly instructions carefully.
- You will need TPU to print this model. The main structure can be printed in PLA, but the figurine pieces must be printed in TPU so they can bend and fit into the vase.
- Caution: The pattern pieces require supports during printing. Please handle them with great care when removing the supports, as these parts are very fragile.
- Assembly requires CA glue.
Historical and Artistic Context
Greek vases were not only functional objects but also important carriers of cultural identity and storytelling. The decoration on this model reflects the black-figure technique, a method developed in the 7th century BCE in which artists painted figures in a dark slip against the natural terracotta surface of the clay.
The depicted imagery includes:
- Armored hoplites bearing shields and spears.
- A charioteer driving a team of horses in battle.
- Warriors in combat, symbolizing themes of honor and heroism.
Assembly
- Begin with the pattern pieces, taking care to note the difference between those intended for the top and those for the bottom of the vase.
- Test-fit the pieces. If they do not seem to fit, try rotating or repositioning them in a different orientation.
- Once aligned, click the pieces into place. This should be possible due to the designed tolerances.
- If a piece does not hold securely, apply a small amount of CA glue to the designated area and then press the piece into position.
Have fun printing, and thank you!
