Some assembly required!
Adaptation of Gridfinity bins to work with spiral vase mode, as to save filament and print time. A big drawback of using vase mode for Gridfinity bins was that they would be very flimsy, and would lack the features that make Gridfinity such a good organizational tool. The goal of this implementation was to maintain the design philosophy while working under the constraints of vase mode.

## Features
As this script is a child of the `gridfinity-rebuilt-base.scad` script, it has most of the same features. Of course, vase mode does have some limitations (it can only do compartments along the X-axis, not the Y-axis).

All parameters are global. The customizer has descriptions for all parameters. There are two functions, `gridfinityVase()` and `gridfinityVaseBase()`. The former builds the bin section, while the latter builds a singular base. These should be exported separately.
It is **essential** that the section *Printer Settings* matches your preferred slicer's settings, otherwise the model will not slice correctly.

## Recommendations
For best results, use a version of OpenSCAD with the fast-csg feature. As of writing, this feature is only implemented in the [development snapshots](https://openscad.org/downloads.html). To enable the feature, go to Edit > Preferences > Features > fast-csg. On my computer, this sped up rendering from 10 minutes down to a couple of seconds, even for comically large bins.
