Vase Mode Cracked Easter Egg Planter

My fascination with vase mode printing has led me to design a half-cracked egg, perfectly tailored for vase mode printing. This cracked egg doubles as an adorable planter, making it a fantastic gift or decor for the Easter holidays!

I tried it out on the Creality Ender 3 V3 KE with a 0.4mm nozzle and set it up for vase mode with Orca Slicer. After playing around with various combinations, I landed on these settings:

• Spiral vase mode
• 1 Wall loop
• Support disabled
• 0 top shell layers
• 40 bottom shell layers
• Sparse infill density 0
• Move at a slow 60mm/s
• 0.12mm layer height
