The Design

Since some have asked for other shapes, here is Version 3 of the Vortex Thread Illusion with an Octagonal Base

This also fits perfectly with Impossible Pyramid Passthrough,

Greater Clearances give smooth movement straight from the print.

The “male” part of the thread seems to defy physics by passing through the slightly larger “female” Part

This looks amazing both in 2 pieces or together

Dimensions are approximately: 54mm diameter x 107mm

Let me know if you experience any issues.

If you enjoy this print consider giving it a boost (It'd really help me out!)

Printing

Standard settings should work fine to slice. It is set up to print sequentially (one part, then the next) in up to 2 colors

Once printed let the build plate cool before trying to remove.

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.
