These parts are designed to use a few solid layers on the bottom and then a continuous and unbroken profile all the way up the part. Prusa and Slic3r call this vase mode, while Cura calls it spiralize.
A single piece/print design of the ever-present self-watering planter. Saves all the folderol of multiple prints and also saves a whole bunch of time. Since it’s a vase mode part, the wall speed is the only setting that significantly affects the print time. I can’t advise printing at over 40mm/s and you’ll get better prints at slower speeds.
Printing times (approximate):
140W190H: 7-8 hours
100W140H: 4-5 hours
80W100H: 2-3 hours
The parts will be very sensitive to scaling, due to a double-back on one of the walls. A few percent either way should be okay, but consult your layer preview. If you have a size you would really like to print, just let me know and I can configure a new file.
