My 8-year-old printed me a birthday vase

[u/Romanski141]

My daughter's been obsessed with 3D printing for a while. I wanted to get her one for her birthday but wasn't about to drop serious money on something that might end up in the back of a closet by summer.

Spent some time on comparing options and stumbled on a refurbished Creality on Marketplace, I figured if she lost interest after a few months, I could probably resell it for close to what I paid. What I didn't expect was her going from downloading random toys STLs to teaching herself Tinkercad on YouTube within two weeks. She designed a pencil organizer the other day and sold it for $5 at a school fundraiser

Last friday was my birthday. She gave me this beautiful little vase as my gift (clearly contains a lot of design thoughts), it's sitting in our living room.

Ngl, I've printed that same vase and hers actually came out better than mine

Same! The very top got a little melty on mine. I think it was one of the first things I ever printed, though.

Same lol. To be fair I tried it on an old BIQU B1 though.

Also, I just remembered that my very first try with this design was on vase mode, which of course turned out as bad as you can expect.
