He has a great explanation of how it works here:&nbsp;</p><figure class="media"><oembed url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLFxFGNVJI4"></oembed></figure><p><strong>The Remix</strong></p><p>I took Packeranderson22's work and made a few changes to increase the printability of this design and remove the need for glue. The changes I have made are:</p><ul><li>I placed a nut at the base of the cone so that the two pieces can be threaded together, there is a threaded rod provided that will hold them together.</li><li>I flipped it so the ramp prints perfectly flat. This has a huge advantage as it can be printed at a 0.3mm height without effecting its performance. I have also:<ul><li>added a little notch for it to end in so it doesn't run off the end.&nbsp;</li><li>removed the joining sections and replaced them with a triangular section that prints as a bridge.</li></ul></li></ul><p><strong>Settings</strong></p><ul><li>Print at what ever layer height you desire. Works great at 0.30mm which makes it a much quicker print.</li><li>Take the first layer slow there are some small little bits for which adhesion can be difficult.</li><li>0% infill is needed, but add some if you like.</li></ul>
