Model Overview & Print Notes
Boost Me Enjoyed the design? ๐ Drop a boost to support it โ every single one makes a difference! Appreciate it ๐๐ฅ ๐ช๏ธ Twisted Helix Vortex โ Kinetic Wind Spinner Add motion and style to your space! This elegant helix wind spinner creates a mesmerizing, flowing rotation that continuously changes its shape depending on the wind. ๐ NEW: Daisy-Chain Version! By popular demand, Iโve added a chainable version! It features a support-free bottom ridge and a rounded pocket, allowing you to easily link multiple spinners together into a spectacular vertical chain. โจ Features ๐ Twisted helix design for a striking 3D effect ๐ฌ๏ธ Smooth kinetic motion โ spins effortlessly in the wind ๐งฉ Clean geometry โ optimized for reliable 3D printing ๐ก Perfect for garden, balcony, window, or indoor decoration ๐จ Looks amazing with silk or dual-color filament ๐ ๏ธ Print Information โฑ๏ธ Fast print time โ๏ธ No supports required ๐งฑ Strong and stable structure ๐จ Best results with silk or dual-color filament โ ๏ธ Important Print Note Due to the thin blade geometry and the small contact area with the build plate, this model can be sensitive to bed adhesion, especially because of its height. For best results: Fan: ~60โ70% Nozzle temperature: +5โ10ยฐC Slower outer walls (30โ50 mm/s) Use a 3D printing adhesive (3D print glue / bed adhesive) for improved first-layer grip ๐ I highly recommend using a 3D print adhesive, as the model has a relatively small anchor point combined with a tall structure. This greatly reduces the risk of the print detaching from the build plate during printing. These settings significantly improve layer bonding, print stability, and help prevent print failures or breakage. ๐ช Available Versions Standard Version โ elegant thin blades Small โ 100% infill (reinforced) Rounded โ improved durability Optimized Smooth V3 โ best print reliability ๐ If you experience breakage, try one of the reinforced versions. ๐ก Tip Hang it freely with enough space around it to allow smooth and continuous rotation for the best visual effect. ๐ More Designs ๐ I just released a new design: HELIX GLOW โ a filament spiral lamp Feel free to check it out if you're interested โจ ๐ Follow me for more creative & practical 3D prints ๐ง๐ฅ
