+1. I'd like the opposite to the OP, but the same feature: normal mode for the base of a box with ribs, and then vase mode for the rest. Vase mode on a modifier would be great. |
+1. I find that I often need features for the bottom of vases or vase-like things. |
I quite often need shaped holes in the bottom of vase structures, and vase printed screw-top bottles would be stronger and lighter, so add my support to this suggestion. # |
+1 for me also |
need this feature, so i don't have to combine two gcodes! +2 |

@thiebes there are reaction buttons for this purpose. With "+1" comments you (and everyone else who does this) only ping everyone subscribed to this issue. People subscribe to track progress and not for this. |
Thanks for that feedback. Won’t happen again! |

+1 because I just had a case where I wanted to print 2 parts that belong together, a capsule and it's cap, and was a little disappointed that Spiral Mode is not available as a per model setting |
+1 I tried to split my part in prusaslicer to workaround but i also can't place it above Z0.00 ontop of the other part so idk why that coordinate even exists as a editable field. |

+1 I really needed this the other day! |
+1 This would be awesome! |
People, could you please stop adding "+1" comments?! There are reaction buttons for this purpose. With "+1" comments, you only ping everyone subscribed to this issue. People subscribe to track progress and not to get notified of other people feeling the issue is more important than other issues. |
I want to add an idea, i see the hot end jumping from one end of a print to the other a lot. |
That's not the way vase mode works. In vase mode the Z is increased in microsteps in a continously manner. At the end of one vase mode turn the nozzle is one layer height higher than at the beginning. |
That's not a solution to the problem at hand. All that will do is print a number of solid layers at the bottom - no infill, no interior detail, nothing. |
For some limited use cases, having solid bottom layers will be sufficient, similar to this example: https://github.com/kristianmk/party-hat-generator. Allowing users to select the height for the transition to and from spiral mode would be a significant improvement. However, is an abrupt transition between normal and spiral mode always feasible? It is probably impossible for layers with support material active. |
"It is probably impossible for layers with support material active." That's right a switch between layer mode and vase mode vis a vis is only possibly if we print one continuous shape. Every prusaslicer based slicer did that (half the way) already, this also proofs that my feature request could be easily implemented. Today most vase mode prints start with printing some bottom layers in layer mode and switch to vase mode above the given number of bottom layers. There is absolutely no technical reason not to go back to layer mode at any height. Typical print today: height range 0 - 2.0mm print bottom in layer mode While the 2.0 is variable by config. |
I would love to see this as well, or at least understand the limitations that will not allow this. |
New feature request. Be able to combine vase mode with non-vase mode.
I'd like to specify vase mode up to a certain height then revert to non-vase mode for rest of print.
I personally can use this for creating bottles with a stronger spout. Clean vase mode perimeter up to where the bottle neck begins then it start to allow for more infill and multi-perimeter walls.
It's a long shot, but worth asking for.
