Squishy Loopz - Spiral Mini

Squishy Loopz Series
The Squishy Loopz series is a fun twist on the traditional desk fidget. These models are engineered to be printed in a single continuous loop, resulting in a flexible and tactile object that is as much a piece of art as it is a toy. Each entry in the series uses a different geometric path to change the crunch and flexibility of the final print.
 

The Mini Spiral
The pint-sized pocket companion. Optimized specifically for a smaller footprint, the Mini Spiral condenses the satisfying geometry of the original into a compact form factor. It offers a slightly firmer, snappier squish that fits perfectly between your fingers, making it the ideal low-profile everyday carry fidget.
 

Slicer Instructions
To achieve the intended flexibility and mechanical action, please use these specific settings:

• Spiral Vase Mode: Enabled
• Wall Thickness: Exactly 0.4mm
• Brim: Disabled (None)

Crucial Printing Tips
Because these models utilize a single wall with no brim, first-layer adhesion is critical to prevent the fins from warping or releasing from the bed mid-print.

• Clean Your Build Plate: Thoroughly wash your build plate with warm water and dish soap (like Dawn) or wipe it down with high-concentration Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to remove all skin oils and dust.
• Slow It Down: If you experience adhesion failures or find the fine details are pulling up during the first few layers, reduce your first-layer print speed or overall printing speed to give the filament more time to bond cleanly to the bed.

IMPORTANT!

When using the customize option ensure that spiral vase and smooth spiral are enabled as well as bottom shell layers are set to 0.
