🌀 VORTEX – The Door Stopper

Simple. Flexible. Functional.

Tired of boring door stoppers that slip or look dull?
Meet VORTEX, a 3D-printable two-part design that combines sleek aesthetics with functionality and flexibility. Designed to grip, adapt, and stay in place — this is a stopper that holds its ground.

🔩 How It Works

VORTEX is made of two parts:

• Part 1 (Top): A rigid, angled surface designed to slide easily under most doors
  → Print with PLA or PETG for structure
• Part 2 (Base): A flexible vortex-patterned base for excellent floor grip
  → Print with TPU (85A or 95A) for traction and elasticity

🧷 The two pieces snap together — no glue required!

💡 Key Features

✅ Easy Print – Designed for smooth, support-free printing on most printers (including Bambu A1 Mini)
✅ Flexible Base – Ensures strong grip and stays firmly in place
✅ Two-Material Design – Mix rigid and soft materials for maximum performance
✅ Compact & Stylish – Looks great and works better than traditional rubber wedges
✅ A1 Mini Compatible – Small enough to print even on compact printers

🧴 Pro Tip: For even better grip, you can spray anti-slip carpet spray under the TPU base.

And if you don’t need a door stopper, use it as a training cone for your dog… or to practice football dribbling. It works either way!
