Description
Looking for your next satisfying, print-in-place desk toy? This Spiral Vortex Pyramid Fidget features a mesmerizing dual-color interlocking design that passes completely through itself, creating an addictive optical illusion and a highly tactile fidgeting experience!
As seen in Image, the sharp geometric pyramid base combined with the smooth, sweeping spiral grooves makes it both a stunning display piece and the ultimate stress-reliever.
✨ Features:
Mesmerizing Motion: Watch the two pieces seamlessly twist and slide through each other.
Optical Illusion: The contrasting spiral grooves create a beautiful vortex effect when spinning or sliding.
Perfect Desk Toy: Great for focus, anxiety relief, or just keeping your hands busy during long meetings.
No Supports Needed: Optimized 3D geometry designed to print cleanly without any support material.
🖨 3D Printing Settings & Tips:
Material: PLA works best for smooth sliding surfaces (Silk PLA looks amazing!).
Supports: ❌ None
Infill: 10% - 15% (Gyroid recommended for strength).
Layer Height: 0.16mm or 0.20mm (Lower layer heights will make the sliding action even smoother).
Wall Loops: 2 or 3 walls for durability.
Colors: For the best visual effect, use two highly contrasting colors (like the neon green and deep purple shown in Image!).
💡 Tip: If the fit is a little tight right after printing, just work the pieces back and forth a few times. They will quickly smooth each other out for a perfect, fluid glide!
