Description

The Design

Continuing along the theme I'm exploring, This is the Impossible Pyramid Passthrough,

Now is the shape of a 4 sided pyramid, 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 x 54mm x 110mm

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.

Boosts really do help me out

To support me even more (not ever required), for information around development of my models (background to come) and for commercial use, i've started a patreon here:

@JoeyAW

It got stuck. any ideas? It could be the silk PLA. Printed on A1.

The designer has replied

@RJDesign

Annoying, normally its a small artifact.blob near the base, or the filament calibration is slightly off

@JoeyAW

Replying to @RJDesign :

Ok, thanks for the ideas.

@Darkwing

Replying to @RJDesign :

mine also got stuck and its the last past of beautifull fillament i had for the inner part. would it be possible to make the outer (black part in the above picture) with a slightly bigger clearence ?

I'm not surprised this came out beautiful. RJ's designs are great. My only issue is that it was a little tight (giggity), but just working through the threads fixed that, and honestly could be a filament issue. 5/5 RJ

@RJDesign

That looks awesome, reminds me of a volcano for some reason

I am impressed by how smooth the pieces slide together and how the tolerances came out perfectly first try on all prints. The gray one was a test print while the second was made using glow in the dark PLA.

super cool and unique! i’d love to see more shape profiles (triangle, hexagon, etc). i made these two and i intend to make more

The designer has replied

@RJDesign

Just Release a mini Triangle and about to release an Octagon for this size! You prints look great, is this home made filament?

Replying to @RJDesign :

I wish it was! It’s AMOLEN S-Series on amazon. it’s not the highest quality silk PLA but they’re definitely a super unique filament option. the colorful one is the red/yellow/blue and the grey one is the white/black/pink. everyone i’ve showed these to absolutely loves these. i just gave another out this morning. please continue making different versions and i’ll absolutely keep making them.

Look Amazing! What filaments were these?

Both are petg. The dark blue is flashforge burnt titanium and the other Bambu translucent teal. Did a separate print in Bambu silk pink for the wife and daughter.

looks nice but got stuck immediately. no movement whatsoever, hopefully it wil come loose again edit: finally came apart. I’ll print the ‘base’ again, didn’t go quite as expected

(Edited)

The designer has replied

@RJDesign

Hey, That sounds really frustrating. it's most likely to be the filament calibration. Have you tired different filaments ? My advice, if you want to keep trying would be to run flow rate calibration and go from there.

Replying to @RJDesign :

Hey, tried a different filament and now it works! Thanks

@max.v.galkin

yeah this printed too tight for me, I used silk PLA, maybe will try with PLA Basic but then it wont look as good. Any suggestions to make it smoother / looser?

The designer has replied

@RJDesign

Is This model scaled down? It looks small, if so the tolerance probably are too tight. If not, i'd try recalibrating your filament flow rate

@max.v.galkin

Replying to @RJDesign :

not scaled down but will try diff filament and recalibrating it
