DIY 3D Printed Bud Vase – Instructions:

If this is your first 3D project and you need additional help, I did a post on setting up your 3D Printer and making your first project.

  1. In Silhouette Studio, create a circle. Save your design
  2. In the Silhouette 3D Software, open your circle design
  3. A pop-up will appear: Import As
  4. Select Jewelry Box
  5. The top and bottom of the box design will appear in 3d.
  6. Delete the top portion
  7. Ungroup the bottom
  8. Delete the ridge at the top of the design
  9. Regroup the bottom and change the dimensions you would like for your vase
  10. Select the 3D Print Tab on the right
  11. Select the Quality (I used the Standard option)
  12. Press Print. The machine will heat up and print – you will see the countdown of time as well
  13. Once your vase is printed, let it cool then remove the platform from the printer
  14. Use the spatula to gently remove the 3D trinket box and any extra filament
  15. Load the platform back into the printer

Adding Texture To Your Bud Vase:

I 3-D printed little rings as well and then cut them in half to make little rainbows. I then used a strong glue to adhere them to the front of the vase to add a little texture. How will you decorate your vase?
