KNOT #1 - Print in Place Interlocking Square Sculpture

KNOT #1: Minimalist Interlocking Geometric Sculpture

Enhance your workspace or home decor with KNOT #1, a modern geometric art piece designed for architectural aesthetics. Featuring two perfectly balanced, interlocking square links, this fixed sculpture offers a sleek and clean look for any desk or shelf.

Key Features:

• Print-in-Place: Designed to be printed as a single, cohesive piece. Zero assembly required.

• Optimized Geometry: Carefully modeled to ensure a clean print, taking advantage of standard 3D printer bridging capabilities.

• Matte Finish Highly Recommended: As seen in the photo gallery, printing this model in a matte gray (or any matte/stone textured filament) exceptionally highlights the clean edges and the interplay of light and shadows.

• Files Include: The standard .stl and the pre-configured .3mf project.

Recommended Print Settings:

• Layer Height: 0.20mm for standard prints (Drop to 0.16mm or 0.12mm for smoother top slopes).

• Infill: 15% - 20% (Gyroid or Grid pattern).

• Supports: No supports required for well-calibrated printers. If your printer struggles with overhangs, use minimal painted organic/tree supports only on the lowest bottom arches.

• Adhesion: A brim is highly recommended to secure the small contact footprint to the build plate during the initial layers.

Scaling:

The default scale is perfectly optimized for standard FDM desktop printers. It can be easily scaled up in your slicer if you want a larger, statement centerpiece.
