The Design

Here we here a Vortex made from Suspended filament.

This is the Thick Rim Version for better adhesion

The Original can be found here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/472351#profileId-384944

The cylinder is approximately 100mm in diameter

This looks great and shows off the capabilities of your Printer.

Printing

After a couple of people have had bed adhesion issues with the original, I've added this thicker rim, this should increase the surface area on the bed and increase bed adhesion.

Slice with the Arachne wall generator. ensure layer thickness is at 0.2mm

Once printed let the build plate cool. The base is fragile - take extra care when remove from the build bed.

Occasionally a filament line may fail. I recommend careful plucking it out - it won't affect the overall look.

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.
