How do I Thicken a Vases Wall/Shell/Outline/Layer?

Please see attached. I just want to thicken the walls of the vase being printed but am unsure how.

In vase-mode you get 1 perimeter, so it's a matter of forcing a wider perimeter.

You can set that as the S3D extrusion width. You can get 0.5mm pretty easily from a 0.35mm nozzle, maybe press it up to 0.6. A 0.5 nozzle will hit 0.8.

Thank you! Will definitley give this a shot. What exactly happens if I set the extrusion width far beyond the nozzles measurement?

*shrug* nothing terrible. You might strip out your filament if you go too fast. Worst case scenario you fail a print in some educational manner.

I printed something vase-mode a little while back and was pushing a heavy layer thickness and width from a .35mm nozzle - it got a little wobbly in spots.

What I find interesting is the wave is mostly on the Z axis - so more like extruder bounce than an x-y error and it's only in one area of the build.
