Modular Glow Vase System - The Ultimate Vase

Modular Glow Vase System - The Ultimate Parametric 3D Printed Decor Revolution

Revolutionary Dual-Component Vase System: Industrial-Strength PETG Core + Infinite Aesthetic Shells. Customize Your Decor Limitlessly with OpenSCAD-Powered Generation.

The Vision Behind Modular Glow Vases

In a world where static home decor quickly becomes outdated, the Modular Glow Vase System redefines personalization. Born from the frustration of printing bulky, single-use vases that don't match seasonal flowers or interior themes, this design splits functionality from aesthetics: a permanent, bulletproof CORE handles water and structure, while interchangeable SHELLS transform appearance in minutes.

This isn't just another vase generator. It's a complete ecosystem for 3D printing farms, designers, and decor enthusiasts—delivering infinite variety with minimal material waste and print time. Print one Core once, then generate endless Shells matching any mood, event, or floral arrangement.

Core Technology: Engineering Excellence

The Core is your indestructible foundation, engineered for lifelong use:

• Dimensions: 80mm diameter x 179.8mm height (scalable)
• Wall Thickness: 5mm solid PETG (waterproof)
• Base: 10mm thick for rock-solid stability
• Precision Filleting: 5mm radius base/interior prevents stress cracks
• Resolution: 1440 radial segments x height-scaled vertical slices 

Waterproof Guarantee: No epoxy, no coatings. Pure PETG that holds gallons without leaks. 

Shell Innovation: Infinite Aesthetic Engine

The Shell is where creativity explodes—a 0.6-1mm thin "glove" with 83mm inner diameter (+3mm clearance) that snaps perfectly over the Core via 5mm top lip overlap.

Key Features:

• Bezier Silhouette: Smooth organic curves via 4th-order polynomial (Shoulder/Median/Neck scaling)
• Polygon Morphing: 1-120 sides with edge fade, curvature, corner fillets
• 15 Parametric Textures: Rhombus Pillow, Creased Leather, Winter Puffer, Cloud Twist, Melted Icecream + more
• Dual Texture Overlay: Primary (selectable intensity) + Secondary (selectable intensity) for layered effects
• Twist Control: 360° helical rotation

Print Optimization: Vase Mode ON, 0.6mm nozzle, translucent PETG. 

The Perfect Fit: Precision Engineering

• Shell Inner: 83mm effective (80+3mm slip-fit)
• Core Outer: Exactly 80mm
• Top Lip: 5mm flange conceals Core rim perfectly

This mathematical perfection eliminates prototypes—first print always fits flawlessly.

Commercial Applications & Market Differentiation

For 3D Print Farms: Print Core once/sale, rapid Shell batches. 5x material savings vs solid vases.
Retail: Sell Core ($25) + Shell packs ($8 each). Infinite upselling.
Home Users: One Core, lifetime Shell collection.

Unique Selling Points:

• No competitors offer true dual-component parametric system
• 15 built-in textures > generic vase generators
• Print farm optimized (80% time savings on shells)
• Translucent PETG glow effects unachievable in solid prints
