Looper - Vase mode fidget toy
Print Profile(3)
Description
Loop it infinitely, squeeze it, twist it, stretch it, or wear it as a bracelet — the Looper is flexible in every definition of the word! Available in small, medium, and large sizes: the small fits as a ring on your finger, the medium is perfect for a bracelet, and the large... well, it's just big!
Models labeled vase are designed to be printed in vase mode. These are softer and more suitable for wearables or finger trainers. Models without vase in the name are printed in a straight line, where the start and end points are glued together to form a circle (I recommend overlapping one wall). These models offer more even tension and are ideal for fidgeting.
Print settings can be tricky. For vase mode, set the bottom shell layers to zero, disable elephant foot compensation, use the classic wall generator, and make sure the initial layer line width and outer wall line width are the same. A thicker line width will result in a stiffer spring — feel free to experiment with this! For non-vase prints, use the Arachne wall generator. Or just use my print profiles. I’ve printed my Loopers in PLA, but PETG should work just as well.
