These spirals are evil. If you touch them they got you.

Archimedean Spiral Fidget
A collection of different nice print-in-place models. While the smaller ones fit in your pocket/hand the bigger and dangerous ones are more useful for educational/decorative usage. These models are good examples on science being eternal and are also useful to show the huge difference between 3D printer nozzle sizes.
Archi Who?
Archimedes of Syracuse (born 287 BC, died 212 BC), mentioned this kind of spirals in his book “On spirals” written some time around 225 BC.
The math stuff
(not needed to print these famous models)
The Archimedean spiral (also known as the arithmetic spiral)…
Vase Mode
Archimedean spirals are vase mode all by themselves. You do not need and should not use vase mode for this model.
Layer Height
This is one of those models who like thick layers. I'm currently out of galaxy black, but i'm sure that would look great with [email protected] or even [email protected].
MK3
You have all the fun, printing both models in serial mode without stringing no matter how stringy your PLA is.
Mini
You could print both at the same time without serial mode, but that is not recommended. Print each of them on his own.
Printing
Even watching the printer while printing these spirals troubles some people ("vertigo"). Print with the highest temperature your filament likes to have. Even stringy filaments will print without strings, that's part of the magic.
(Freecad running into his limits doing the CAD stuff for the Big Kahuna.)
Vertigo
Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo
"Approximately 2.4% of people are affected at some point in time."
Don't panic
The two sizes (pocket/table) in this model are secure (for most people).
Now
Go one and print your spirals don't forget to post your make, every make is welcome and the honor is yours. This model was designed to be printed in many ways. If you like it print it with smooth layer heights or speed up to the max. It will always look great.

- Prusa MK3S
- any Filament you like => please post your make

Big Kahuna
For security reasons the Big Kahuna is on its own.
