Description

A compact twisty cylinder that expands into a satisfying spiral mechanism when pulled.
Prints fully assembled in one piece with zero supports and zero assembly.

Just print, twist, and enjoy.

This model transforms from a cylinder into a flexible articulated structure, making it a perfect desk fidget, stress toy, or display piece.

 Features

  • Print-in-place design
  • Fully functional off the build plate
  • Expands and compresses smoothly
  • Strong, chunky segments for durability
  • Minimalistic cylindrical aesthetic
  • Single-color friendly (looks great in matte PLA)

Brim: Optional

 

 Post-Print Tip

After printing, gently twist and expand the cylinder a few times to fully loosen the joints.
This helps achieve the smoothest motion and is normal for print-in-place mechanisms.
