Trang trí Icicle (Vase Mode)

These are Icicle Decorations that one can stick to door or window-frames.

They are heavily inspired by the Magnetic (or stick on) Icicle decorations for doors or windows by fixumdude but are not a remix, so I hope it is ok if I upload the models here.

There are two versions of the files. One version has a hole at the bottom where a Ø6x2mm magnet can be glued in. This is practical for sticking the icicles to metal door frames. The other version just has a flat bottom. Use a small piece of double-sided tape to attach it to most surfaces.

The parts can be printed in vase mode, this creates a seamless print that saves filament. The other benefit is that the icicles are very light. So you don’t need a strong magnet/tape to attach them or worry that it hurts should they fall on someone.

Here is how to print in vase mode on Prusa Slicer 2.7:

Tick Spiral vase box under the Layers and perimeters setting. If you are printing the version with the magnets, make sure the bottom shell is about 2.6 mm thick. I printed mine with a layer height of 0.2 mm and had to use 13 bottom shells. It is best to print slowly, I used a printing speed of 20 mm/s. To make sure the long, thin icicles don’t topple over, use a brim.

Print in transparent PETG for the most realistic effect. White filament should look good too.

Recommended print settings:

• Spiral vase mode: On
• Infill density: 0 %
• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• Bottom shells: 13 (for magnet version), 4 (for tape version)
• Perimeters: 1
• Brim: Yes
• Printing Speed: 20 mm/s
