\u201cspiralize the outer contour,\u201d which is also known as \u201cVase mode\u201d or \u201cVase mode,\u201d and <strong>It is mainly used for 3D printing vases.<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Spiral printing the outer contour first prints all the lower layers of the base (of the 3D model) and then begins printing a single wall, moving upward along the Z-axis in a spiral pattern until it reaches the top.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This special curing mode saves material and time because it uses <strong>a single wall<\/strong> spiral-shaped <strong>and 0% filler<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Enable \u201cSpiralize Outer Contour\u201d in Cura<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>In Cura's print settings, go to \u201cSpecial Modes\u201d and enable \u201cSpiral Outer Contour.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This mode will not work with every 3D model, since it does not use retraction or extruder travel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-g7465af\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e6 section-g7465af gutentor-element

class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember that not every model can be spiralized; you must choose models designed for that purpose and configure the necessary settings to ensure a successful 3D print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have your STL file ready for printing, use the following settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(<strong>The following settings are not waterproof<\/strong>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Coat length<\/strong>: (whichever one you want)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Line width<\/strong>: 0.4 (can be increased to 0.6 with a 0.4 mm nozzle)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Wall thickness<\/strong>: 0.8 mm (Can be increased to 1.2 mm with a 0.4 mm nozzle)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Upper layers<\/strong>: 0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lower layers<\/strong>: 4<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Speed<\/strong>: between 30 and 50 mm\/s<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filling<\/strong>: (The filling function is disabled when spiralize mode is activated)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spiral the outer edge<\/strong>: Enabled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">(<strong>The following setups may be waterproof (you'll have to experiment<\/strong>))<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Coat length<\/strong>: (between 0.05 mm and 0.1 mm) The layers must be very thin<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heated Bed<\/strong>: 60 \u00b0C<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hotend<\/strong>: 225 \u00b0C for PLA<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>FLOW<\/strong>: 130%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Lower layers<\/strong>: 5<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fan speed<\/strong>: 100%<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filling<\/strong>: (The filling function is disabled when spiralize mode is activated)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Spiral the outer edge<\/strong>: Enabled<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things to Keep in Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The printed models will be fragile, since they will have only a single wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Liquids can seep through the sides, so they wouldn't work as vases.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can print one model at a time, since the nozzle makes a single continuous movement.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You can also make other items, such as small organizers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Can Be Printed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cura's \"Spiralize Outer Contour\" mode is ideal for 3D printing vases, pots, lamps, or flower vases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below, you'll see some examples created using this special mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Vases or pots<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img
