About this model

This is the best impossible vortex passthrough I have designed or printed. It is highly functional and visually striking, with clean geometry and a smooth motion. It is optimized to use less filament without giving up strength or print quality.

The trade-off is fit, as with the rest of this series. If the inner piece is not quite right, the passthrough will not move the way it should, so I have kept the settings below where they work for me, with one update to the inner-piece compensation.

Print settings

  • Filament: PLA
  • Infill: 0%
  • Layer height: 0.2 mm 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: If the inner and outer pieces are not quite right, the passthrough will not feel as smooth as it should. 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, and it replaces the older -0.2 mm value.

Tips

  • Check the fit: If the inner piece is not quite right, the passthrough will not move the way it should.
  • Keep the settings as listed: I have kept these settings where they work for me.
