The ultimate fidget toy - Foldagon folds infinitely over itself with continuous smooth motion. This design uses only three identical interlocking parts yet creates mesmerizing repeating patterns as it opens and closes in an endless loop. So far I've heard it reminds people of snakes fighting, flowers blooming, alien opening it's mouth, and looking into a kaleidoscope. What does it remind you of?

Print:
This easy to print kaleidocycle is not picky with filaments. Tested to work well with PLA Basic, PLA Matte and PLA Metal. If printing with same material supports, pick a filament that you know you can remove the supports from cleanly.
Pick a profile, print, remove supports and enjoy! No break-in needed once supports are removed completely.
Prof. 1: Single Color - Single material print. Less supports that are still easy to remove with okay supported surface quality.
Prof. 2: AMS-Support for PLA - The best surface with easy to remove supports. 3pcs in one plate. Support interface printed with “Support for PLA” -material.
Prof. 3: AMS - Three colors but without dedicated interface support material. Less supports that are still easy to remove with okay supported surface quality.
For different non-AMS Multi-Color variations, check print profiles by Bichopebitou and me, but read the the profile specific instructions from the profile.
Tips for support removal: Cut the tree supports in half with pliers, then remove the raft. Break the remaining supports off by twisting and prying with a dull blade or screw driver. Leave the very center last, the small bit inside the print will drop off once you start folding the print back and forth.
