Perpendicular Hexagons Bowl

This is a bowl made of hexagons offset from each other. It is modeled small so be sure to scale it up to the size you want with the Bowl_Final_corrected.stl file.

Two Options for printing:

Option 1: Print the whole model at once using the Bowl_Final_Corrected.stl file. This method requires a lot of support given all of the overhangs. It took about 14 hours on my printer at the scale I printed it at. If you do this I would suggest you enable the setting in cura "avoid supports when traveling" since there are a lot of them.

Option 2: Print out each layer and superglue them together. For this you need to print the Base separately. Then print layers 1-5. Then Print Layer 6, 7, 8 , 9 separately (see photo 4) since they are the same size. This method saves filament because it wont require supports given that the hexagons will all lay on the bed while printing.

Note: You can create a top for this model by reprinting the base +the first 5 layers. This is shown in the last two photos

Happy Printing, I will do my best to answer questions
