Endless Design Lab's Original Level Two Sierpiński Snowflake Fractal Tower builds on the beauty of Level One, adding a second layer of fractal complexity while retaining the seamless base design. With its mesmerizing geometry and optimized vase mode printing, this model is a must-try for anyone looking to explore more intricate fractals. The print time remains impressively quick at just 34 minutes!

As part of my special holiday promotion, this model is free to download! Watch with your family and friends as this stunning design takes shape layer by layer, showcasing the magic of 3D printing during the holiday season.

Key Features -

Integrated Base Design: Features a seamlessly attached base for added stability and elegance.

Vase Mode Ready: Prints effortlessly with intricate details and smooth, seamless results.

Unique Viewing Angles: Perfect 90-degree angles create the illusion of squares or cubes when viewed from certain perspectives.

Enhanced Complexity: Level Two offers even more detailed fractal geometry for an impressive final result.

Cross-Section Exploration: Each slice reveals unique patterns, inspiring endless creativity.

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 you don’t see the "smooth spiral" checkbox in your slicer, no worries—just be sure to use Spiralize Outer Contour (or a similarly named option in your slicer, such as spiral/vase mode).

Ensure your slice gap closing radius is set to 0, as this is critical for proper vase mode printing. Without this setting, the slicer may close gaps that are necessary for the model to print correctly.

Printing Tip:
For best results, enable the “Skirt” option in your slicer to ensure consistent nozzle pressure from the start. Skipping the skirt may cause a “funny” or deformed corner on the first layer, because the nozzle pressure won’t be properly primed when the print begins.

While this may sound complicated, slicing this model is actually simple and straightforward as long as you follow the instructions. However, if you find yourself having trouble, I’m happy to help! Leave a comment down below and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm available to do so.

Have fun! 🥳

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.
