About this model

This spiral vortex is my sleek, rounded take on the impossible vortex. It is an easy print, and it is fun to watch it form layer by layer.

I like the rounded geometry most, since it sets it apart from sharper vortex prints. Bold or contrasting colors really bring out the layered shape.

Print settings

  • Material: PLA, PETG, or ABS/ASA
  • Infill: 0%
  • Layer height: 0.2mm recommended
  • Perimeters: 2
  • Top and bottom layers: 4
  • Print speed: 50 to 60 mm/s
  • Cooling: 100% fan after initial layers
  • Supports: none
  • Brim: none

Inner piece fit: The fit can be tight, so I adjust the tolerance in my slicer. For the inner piece only, I set XY Size Compensation to -0.35 to improve the fit. I use this setting only because this model has a separate inner passthrough piece.

Tips

  • Use bold or contrasting colors: bold or contrasting colors really bring out the layered shape.
  • Scale up for young children: if I am printing for young children, I scale the model larger than the size of their mouth to avoid any choking hazard.
  • Let the build plate cool: I let the build plate fully cool before removing the vortex, so the parts do not warp.
  • Adjust the fit if it is tight: if the fit is tight, adjust the tolerance in my slicer and follow the XY instructions above.

My Patreon page is still available at patreon.com/MasterPrinter, but I do not actively update it anymore.
