I wanted to create a new ornament based on my stem ornaments that prints quickly and with a lot of transparency. So, I modified one of my sets of stems to have cleaner lines and print well in vase mode. Just print each piece separately with no bottom and glue them together with a little CA.

I've printed three of these now using:
- Sunlu Clear
- Matterhacker's Translucent Red
- Hatchbox Transparent Blue
I used the same settings for each and they all turned out well.
RESIZING These should scale up well, but I'm not sure how much smaller you could print them using a consumer FDM printer. Using a resin printer, you could probably print them much smaller.
PRINT TIME About 2 hours total
PRINT SETTINGS No raft, no supports, no infill, no bottom. It's a really quick, easy print that looks great.
Just print in vase mode and add a skirt to make sure the filament is extruding well before your printer starts on the main model.
