Space, Vase
We started our mission with the goal of elevating our sunflower display to levels no other flowers have been to before. With our eyes on space, what better goal than to lift the Sunflowers to their god from above, the sun itself! Hence we introduce the “Sunflower Space Vase”! What other flower has been able to grow to these heights, to truly escape the bounds of earth and return to her maker?
Before liftoff, a layer of 3D Print Stick was applied to ensure a super smooth first layer start and then strong adhesion as the layers were applied rapidly throughout this mission. Utilizing vase mode and with a non-wasting perfectly stuck first layer, our delta printer was able to complete this print in under 4hours!
The flowers came from our office garden which has been featured in several other posts. The bees absolutely love the sunflowers so we try and leave them standing for as long as possible. All of the flowers used in this video had already fallen and were no longer helping the bees.
