<p>Version 4 allows you to have multi-process vase mode prints -- do the vertical surfaces in vase mode, then switch over to normal mode for the horizontals. This lets you have the best of both worlds in the same print. :)</p>

<p>I like using "Vase Mode" (or single outline corkscrew printing mode) for quick nonfunctional prints, but it tends to leave gaps in horizontal or near horizontal surfaces. I understand why it does this, but is there a way (beyond printing with no infill*) to get a little more horizontal coverage out of it?</p>

<p>*Is the answer to this literally just "Try to print without infill?"</p>

Is there a way to get more horizontal coverage out of "Vase Mode" in Simplify3D?
