A plant pot printed as one spiral line: the bottom starts from the centre and the same line climbs the wall up to the rim, with no seam and no travel. Thick line, 0.8 mm nozzle, 0.9 mm layers. Made directly in Grasshopper, so these are ready gcodes, no STL (the STL here only says "use gcodes").

numbers refer to cylinder diameter and height: 120.gcode prints a vase 120mm wide and 120mm tall

how to print the gcodes:

• use a printer with 0.8 nozzle
• extract the SD card or USB drive from the printer
• insert the SD card or USB drive in a computer
• copy the gcodes on the SD card or USB drive
• insert the SD card or the USB drive back in the printer
• send the gcodes from the printer interface

minimum build volume your printer needs for each vase (X x Y x Z), print time and PLA:

• 60.gcode: 160 x 160 x 63 mm, 33 min, 32 g
• 90.gcode: 175 x 175 x 93 mm, 1 h 13 min, 71 g
• 100.gcode: 180 x 180 x 103 mm, 1 h 31 min, 88 g
• 120.gcode: 190 x 190 x 123 mm, 2 h 11 min, 127 g
• 150.gcode: 205 x 205 x 153 mm, 3 h 24 min, 198 g
• 200.gcode: 230 x 230 x 203 mm, 6 h 03 min, 351 g
• 250.gcode: 255 x 255 x 253 mm, 9 h 27 min, 549 g
• 300.gcode: 305 x 305 x 303 mm, 13 h 37 min, 790 g

temperature is set to 210C for the nozzle and 65C for the bed, good for PLA. Change temperature in the gcode or from the printer interface right after print starts based on your filament
