Excellent print and just the right size without resizing. This was printed on a Prusa/Bear MK3 that was completely overhauled.

Thank you

OK newb question: Please and thank you before I ask. I tried printing this basket. with PLA on a KOBRA S1. I noticed that the print time was well over 20hrs. Then I noticed that the infill was being printed for the entire interior of the basket. I am new to this and do not know where to set the infill only for the base of the basket. Can anyone help me?
I have found the infill % and played with it, but that only deleted the entire infill and am not sure the base of the basket will print correctly. I guess I need to set the infill to only the base? but how? or what setting?

Thanks again

@UberPilotDav_3621713 You need to set the print to Spiral Vase Mode and your extrusion width to 0.6 or 0.8. If you have a fatter nozzle you can go wider than that.

If you don't want to do a Vase but would prefer to do multiple walls instead, set your top layers to 0 and your infill to 0%. This will give you a hollow print with no top. It lets you set the wall thickness to whatever you desire without having a top.

Nice basket. I printed with 0.3 layer and scaled on 120%. Thx for model.

Looks great! I increased the layer width to 0.8mm in an attempt to increase strength. We'll see how long it lasts in my young son's room 😬

Very nice print, thanks! Printed great in the Prusa Mini+ in around 3 hours. Printed with mixed PLA filaments, including a glow in the dark one, so it's easy to find it :)

I'm fairly new to 3d printing and needed somewhere to throw all my scraps and failures. This turned out beautifully and works great! Printed with eSun PLA+ in case mode with 0.8mm extrusion width.
