This is an hourglass-shaped slinky to print as a fidget toy. If you like this and would like other shapes, check out my collection here! Feel free to also leave a comment or send me a message if you have ideas for other shapes to make a slinky in!
Please make sure to use a filament for which you have calibrated the flow rate, as overextrusion can lead to the part not being separable!
There are 5 lengths available: 30mm, 60mm, 100mm, 150mm, 200mm.
If you want to make it larger or smaller I recommend only scaling the X and Y axes, as the Z should be fixed to make sure it works when printed.
Please disregard the “Floating Cantilever” warnings that Bambu Studio gives you, the model needs to be printed without supports to make sure it can separate.
After the model is printed you will need to pull the spiral apart, you might need to use a knife to get the separation started, as shown in this image:
