I very basic ball shaped bowl printed using surface mode in Cura. (Vase mode for others.) Designed them with a friend while teaching him how to use Fusion 360. I've uploaded 3 different sizes. Small and medium shown in the pics. They look pretty good and are fairly useful like any bowl is. (Holds loose change, keys, nuts and bolts, etc...) It also works awesome with my LED bike headlight inside. The thin PLA diffuses the bright light well and looks kind of like candlelight.
