I've had some success with PLA/PHA but plain old PLA works better.</li> <li>First layer calibration is important--if you print too close to the bed the bottom layer will be solid.</li> <li>Supports are not needed.</li> <li>I recommend doing a test print tiny one first.</li> <li>Don't over-extrude.</li> <li>Do **NOT** over-extrude.</li> </ul><h3>Versions</h3><h4>Regular</h4><li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy.stl</li> <li>radius: 60 mm</li> <li>height: 70.5 mm</li> <li>six pieces/rings</li> <li>print time: 9h 30m</li> <li>weight: 101 grams</li><p><p></p></p> <h4>Tiny</h4><p>Print this one first to make sure your settings are good.</p> <li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy_tiny.stl</li> <li>radius: 16 mm (not including lip)</li> <li>height: 31.2 mm</li> <li>three pieces</li> <li>print time: 1h 30m</li> <li>weight: 15 grams</li><p><p></p></p> <h4>Small</h4><li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy_small.stl</li> <li>radius: 18 mm</li> <li>height: 56.3 mm</li> <li>four pieces</li> <li>print time: 3h 15m</li> <li>weight: 33 grams</li><p><p></p></p> <h4>Taller</h4><li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy_taller.stl</li> <li>radius: 18 mm</li> <li>height: 56.3 mm</li> <li>four pieces</li> <li>print time: 15h</li> <li>weight: 162 grams</li><p><p></p></p> <h4>120 twist</h4><p>This one has a tighter twist to it.</p> <li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy_120_twist.stl</li> <li>radius: 30 mm</li> <li>height: 70.5 mm</li> <li>six pieces</li> <li>print time: 9h 30m</li> <li>weight: 102 grams</li><p><p></p></p> <h4>Larger</h4><li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy_taller.stl</li> <li>radius: 50 mm</li> <li>height: 121 mm</li> <li>11 pieces</li> <li>print time: 1d 19h 30m</li> <li>weight: 500 grams</li><p><p></p></p> <h4>Ludicrous</h4><li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy_ludicrous.stl</li> <li>radius: 60 mm</li> <li>height: 143.1 mm</li> <li>12 pieces</li> <li>print time: 2d 22h 30m</li> <li>weight: 800 grams</li><p><p></p></p> <h4>Obscene</h4><li>filename: twisted_scoping_toy_ludicrous.stl</li> <li>radius: 75 mm</li> <li>height: 181.5 mm</li> <li>16 pieces</li> <li>print time: 6d</li> <li>weight: 1600 grams!</li>
