I'm trying to print a particular part and in the region that's in vase mode it prints with two walls. I've selected one wall thickness and even tried zero walls, but two still happen. I've confirmed that with physical prints.
On another part - just a plain cylinder to test further, it does have just the one wall thickness.
Any idea what is going on here please?

Re: Vase Mode creates two walls
Fixed it, but not by working on the problem, more just luck.
I watched a couple of videos on S3D & vase mode and in one of them the fellow mentioned the settings in the attachment, but not to fix the multiple-wall problem. I tried it anyway and it worked.
'Non Manifold Segments to Discard'
And ticked the box for 'Merge all outlines ...'

Re: Vase Mode creates two walls
Hi,
The object from your first screenshot isn't a cylinder, it's a tube - therefore it has 2 outsides. And vase mode will try
to retain both of them. Ticking "Merge all outlines" presents the slicer with a cylinder instead of a tube in this case,
requiring only one perimeter on the now "single outside".

as there's no model/factory file supplied some guesswork:

Re: Vase Mode creates two walls
Thanks.
The part had to be drawn with 0.5mm thick walls for the mid section, the rest was much thicker. Anyway ticking that box makes it work, that's all I care about.

Re: Vase Mode creates two walls
Just to clarify the reason you had a problem with it printing two walls is that you in fact did have two walls because you have a hole in the middle you did stumble upon the correct solution which doesn't always work but in your case it should have worked just fine it looks like it did
You told it to merge all boundaries which fills in that opening in the middle
If you want both walls and you still want vase mode there is a way you can do that as well
Bring that model into tinkercad drop a hole using a square through the sidewall of the model Make sure that it goes all the way through the model only one side and all the way up and down vertically through the model and then change the thickness to 0.02 mm
This will put a small slice in the model which will connect to the inside and the outside of the model and allow a valid base mode toolpath to form I do this all the time to create rather complex phase mode models.
I think Google's misspelling vase a lot but I think you get the idea I'm using voice dictation to type this
Be careful with clothes all boundaries or merge all boundaries because that's going to fill in all holes which can break a lot of models basically just make them not print anywhere near what you thought was going to print in this case you were lucky and it was compatible with what you needed to have done.
