About this model

I made this pointless square pyramid passthrough as another model in the vortex series. It stands out for its simplicity, which makes it a great print for beginners and experienced makers alike, and its fully rounded corners make it safer and more comfortable to handle.

The best part is how clean it looks and feels as a fidget or desk piece. It is functional without being fussy, and the modern shape works on a desk or in the hand.

Print settings

• Infill: 0% (no overhangs requiring infill)
• Supports: none
• Brim: none
• Filament: PLA, PETG, ABS, or ASA

Tips

• Fit and removal: The parts need the right tolerances to move well, and pulling the vortex off too soon can warp them, so let the plate cool completely before removing it.
• Inner piece XY Size Compensation: For the inner piece, I set XY Size Compensation to -0.35. That replaces the older value of -0.1 on this model's page, and it improves the tolerances and fit between the parts.
• Safety: If you are printing this for a young child, scale the model larger than the size of their mouth.
