I was wondering where i could find the Vase mode on the Ultimaker Cura version 5.1.1, i have an Anycubic i3 Mega S printer or do i have to download it?

Hey @GloucesterLad,

 

Welcome to the Ultimaker Community 🎉

We have the setting available. It's just called slightly different from Vase Mode. 
It's called Spiralize Outer Contour

 

Good luck with your vase prints! ⚱️

Hi 

 

I am trying to print bellows with tpu, but I haven't been succeded. I have tried with vase mode but it ends up a mess. How can I put spiralize without creating structures outside? 

 

does anyone know the best technique to print bellows?

 

Thank you

Thank you 

the best technique to printing bellows is to not print bellows.
just print the paddles and use leather. or cheap plastic sheet. it would be more cost effective to just buy bellows.

I really want to know why you thought you had to necro an eight and a half month old thread just to say that.

 

A lot of the fun of 3D printing is making stuff that even though we might be able to buy, we can customise or just take pride in having done it ourselves.

 

And for what it's worth...

You can't really use vase mode for too much of anything with TPU. A single wall of TPU is not going to be strong enough to withstand much, possibly including not even being able to hold up its own weight while you print it, depending on size and model.
