Description

Here is a new design for my slinkies collection.

Other models available here: https://makerworld.com/en/@rky.91/collections/510046

This is a cute heart-shaped slinky that's easy to print. No support required.
The model is 10cm tall and I printed mine using Bambulab Silk PLA. Feel free to try more crazy colors!

After printing, gently separate all the coils of the toy: It shouldn't be difficult to separate the first coil. You can start the process using the tip of a small knife by prying into one of the gaps between the coils.

Please ignore the warning about the 'floating cantilever' that appears before slicing: the model leaves small gaps by design.

You can scale the template in the X or Y direction to make the heart shape bigger. I recommend keeping the height as it is.

Below are some of the beautiful prints from the community

It’s a pretty something holder. There is no way these layers are coming apart. I already tried prying them apart and they are not budging. I printed straight from the app. I’ll debate trying to play with settings in the slicer but this is solid. It’s regular PLA. Nothing fancy.

Other Issues:too strong doesn’t function as it should

I'm sorry. Try to calibrate your filament. Just one thing: perhaps, before leaving low feedback, even though other users have not had problems, try to understand what went wrong with your print. The problem isn't necessarily the model, but how it is printed and what material is used. I always test what I publish, with commitment and seriousness, precisely to prevent you from wasting time and material. From the photo you seem to see an overextrusion. Thanks anyway.

@alexismajacob

There is no over extrusion. You are probably mistaking the dual color filament. It is ok I would have seen the same thing if I hadn’t used dual color before too. I was finally able to get most of it apart. just not the top or bottom layers. It took a massive CRACK of a space in order to get it started. You can see from the picture the damage that needed to happen before it broke loose. Maybe a little note of don’t be afraid to break it would be helpful. My review was honest and proven. I am sorry you are offended by my review. Maybe little more detail would have prevented my hesitation with separating the layers. My machine is very well dialed in. Happy Printing!

Replying to @alexismajacob :

I'm not offended by your comment. I'm sorry I received a low review when in reality the problem could have been resolved more easily. However, the fact remains that in reality the separation of the coils does not require a great effort. However, I suspect that something went wrong during your printing. Sorry about that. Happy printing to you.

Took some effort to to separate the joins but the print quality was on point. Printed with Polymaker Luminous PLA on default Bambu Glow settings.

Printed beautifully for me! I had no problem separating the layers by hand without any tools.

@rky.91

wonderful result!

@LilyCashew

For everyone struggling with breaking it apart, I used a knife and carefully wiggled it between two layers to get them unstuck. From there, it was fairly simple to separate the remaining layers.

Printed great, had to go to the description to figure out how to break it apart. Thought it would be broken by my 3 year old in hours. It has yet to break after several days.

@rky.91

the simply fact that your child can play with it makes me really happy!

regret wasting filament on this print. does not separate easily. deformed somehow while I was cutting off ALOT of stringing that resulted after separating layers. bad design to separate the layers, needs to have a lot more grooves throughout. wanted to give this as a gift, but after spending 3 hours on the print and an hour to make it somewhat presentable it’s still not presentable. just regrets 😒I printed in PLA tough using designer profile.

Other Issues:bad separation design for the rings

The designer has replied

@rky.91

I never printed it with PLA tough. maybe the issue is that. I'm sorry.

I printed it with the uploaded profile and it's all seized up.

The designer has replied

@rky.91

do you have issues separating the coils? try to use a spatula or a butter knife inserting it between the gaps. use a little force

@robmoser

Fantastic model, thank you for sharing it with us. I never imagined I'd be able to successfully print a slinky, of all things! Everything came apart with a light pull. To the folks having trouble with adhesion between the layers, I recommend running things slow and cold compared to most prints. Also, use Silk PLA instead of standard or matte, as it is the most flexible. The print in the pictures was at 200C instead of the normal 220-230, the aux fan set to 100% instead of the default 70%, and volumetric flow capped at 6mm^3. Infill 50% Gyroid instead of the 15/grid. This does result in taking 6 hours to print, but the lack of need of any post-processing (plus the fact that Silk always looks great when printed slowly) makes it more than worth it. I'll probably do another run at 190C to see if it comes apart even easier.

I thought I was being so careful, but I still managed to break it while separating the layers. After I broke it, I started going from the opposite end and that seemed to go smoother, so going down in a clockwise motion seemed to be the easier direction to seperate the layers if that makes sense!
