This vase from PrusaPrinters.org was a test of pushing the direct extruder Odin-5 to higher speeds. While not perfect it is still quite impressive. This 150mm high print finished is slightly less than 4 hours. It was printed Amolen Silk-Like PLA at 200c with the print bed at 50c. I used the Cura 4.11 stock Ender-3 profile with the retraction reduced from 5mm to 1mm since this is a direct extruder printer. I continue to be impressed with this printer as I have not had a single print fail during my testing.

But how tough is that trash can? Irv Shapiro has shown vase mode prints cracking with not much effort, because they're so thin.

It is paper-thin. Vase mode prints are fast and useful for creating "art". They are not useful for practical prints. However, what I would call simulated vase mode, no infill, multiple walls work great and allow you to control the strength of the print. I did a video on this that was criticized by a couple of people because they claim I should not call it simulated vase mode. Here is the link:

Well, I wouldn't throw a couple reams of paper in there but it does fine holding scrap paper. I would not characterize vase-mode prints as brittle. I print them hot--at max recommended temperature or higher--for better strength.
