About the Vase & Planter Generator

Vases and planters built from a silhouette and a cross-section (circle, polygon or star) with a shape guarantee that spiral/vase mode cannot fail on.

Free and without an account: type the numbers, watch the live preview, download STL and 3MF files that Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer and PrusaSlicer open directly. Looking for a ready-made size? The model library has 651 of them, each with its dimensions already filled in.

Printing notes

Questions

Why is the STL a full solid when it is a vase?

Spiral models are meant for vase mode in your slicer: the slicer draws one continuous wall from the outline, so the file carries the solid shape on purpose. Shelled models print the normal way with 2 to 3 walls.

Will it hold water?

A single-wall spiral print is not watertight by itself; use a 0.6 mm nozzle or a shelled model with 3 walls for real flowers, or drop a glass inside.

Can I use it as a planter?

Yes. Shelled models can take drainage holes and a matching drip tray; the Planter Generator goes further with soil volume in liters.
