A "julia" vase off thingiverse. "Natural" SeeMe ABS filament-230/80 heat-stock hotend-Ezstruder-Sli3cr. Very cool shape 
I just wish its walls were thinner or I had tried a different slicer/settings. It kept trying to do this little infill on the walls which produced "crumbs" of ABS(can see in the pics on Onyx) that caused issues. Took 12+ hours to print, I think as a single walled object it would have been much faster/cleaner. The bridges on this object were very difficult! I think I need to slow that way down. I did use a trick in them-I use an oil painters knife to iron down the thin overhangs being created on the bridges. These thin sections curl badly when they extend out with no support. You have to be quick and watch the travel of the hotend I really think ABS( on some geometries) would print better in a heated enclosure.
