Boost MeBoosts really help, Thank you!

Note: No Bearings Needed

Note: Please ensure filament is dry and Printer doors are slightly open (excluding h2d), any sag in the filament can causing the print fail

 

The Design

 

Here we have my latest design - The Twister. 

 

I wanted to create a spinning illusion that incorporated spirals to give an illusion of the part moving upwards or downwards. 

 

This spinner uses no bearings and spins for an surprising amount of time. 

 

It can stood upright or be laid on its side

 

Dimensions are 65mm wide, 78mm deep and 120mm tall. 

 

I've included 3 different thicknesses of the spinning part to help with print, brittle filaments such as silk should use the thicker +1mm profile.

and there are 2 variations of the holder. 

 

The mixed color combination is fairly efficient on a H2D. 

 

Let me know if you experience any issues.

 

 

Printing

 

The are two print profiles, the x1/p1 profile has all three parts on 1 plate 

For the “All Variants” profile, pick 1 plate of a Base and 1 plate of a Spinner

 

No supports are needed, the standard twister should be printed with basic filament as it risks failling with silk filaments. 

 

Once printed let the build plate cool before trying to remove.

 

 

My Work

 

Thank you to everyone who has and is supporting me in my design work, when my 8-5 engineering job ended a year ago i never expected to be able to design almost full time, and its all thanks to you!
