The last picture is the final product, printed in [PLA-Basic Silver].(PLA Basic Filament with spool / 1kg / Silver (HEX Code #A6A9AA))
Interestingly enough, this filament needs a much slower speed than the other PLA-Basic filaments I have used (white, black, red, blue). I needed to print in Silent mode for the layers to adhere to one another. Why is that???
Also a nice modeling challenge in SOLIDWORKS. 
Design and print look great!
The ability to create something like that always blows me away. I can make a box or a cylinder but that’s about it. 
For the adhesion concerns, you may want to watch CNC Kitchen’s video on how different colors of the same brand and type compare in his testing.
Thanks for the link. Very useful.
Talking about modeling this vase, the technique is very simple, yet elegant. We started a brainstorming session on improving the technique further in this thread:
That link requires a login…
It is a link for the Dassault’s 3DEXPERIENCE platform. Many makers are using the Makers edition of SOLIDWORKS and that is where we talk about modeling techniques. You can create a login ID for free.
What software are you using to design and model the parts?
I see… Currently being crazy and using RepliCAD (javascript bindings to OpenCascade) 
I have to pick between FreeCAD, Solidworks maker’s edition, and Onshape…
Let’s just say I’m old and slow. I use either Tinkercad or 123D Design 2.2.14 which was abandoned by Autodesk many years ago but still works fine for what I need. While Solidworks and Fusion will do amazing things, I can do everything I need with basic shapes and completely lack the mindset required to conceive of let alone create things like your vase.
