Hardness in vase mode

Hello,

I have a Prusa MK4 with the standard 0.4mm nozzle.

Does anyone know if there is a way so that the pieces are not too fragile in vase mode?

Thanks

RE: Hardness in vase mode

You can increase your extrusion width to 0.6-0.8mm range which will print from a 0.4mm nozzle.  That significantly increases vase rigidity. 

Other than that theres are design methods like adding small slits to the vase objects surface design, this creates looping outer paths that can make the vase thicker and more rigid while still being a vase mode print.
