The Design and Printing

This is a mini (slice) of my new Vortex Cube, at 12.6mm thick its ¼ of the depth and much faster to print. It is filled with a Vortex of suspended filament. Perfect Ornament for a desk.

This piece's dimensions are 12.6mm x50mm x 50mm.

The shallower depth improves viewing angles but reduces the vortex effect.

Ensure that Arachne Wall generator is being used and layer height is set to 0.2mm.

PLA is the recommended filament, Using Silk PLA  is possible but the results may not be as good, The silk prints pictures are lower quality than the other prints. 

I have trialled PETG but this did not work. 

I haven't had any with bed adhesion, let me know if you do.

Let the print cool before attempting to remove.

Do let me know how you get on.

My Work

After many years in Engineering, I've just decided to try and follow my childhood dream of becoming of a Creative Designer.

A Creative Designer of what? No idea! Right now I really like puzzles, mechanisms and kinetic sculptures so that's where I'm going to focus my efforts.
