The vortex fidget toy is a sleek, spinning design inspired by the shape of a vortex. It is designed to be held in one hand and spun for a calming, tactile experience. The toy features smooth, curved edges and a symmetrical layout for efficient spinning and comfort.

Key Features:

Vortex Shape: A spiraling design with smooth, flowing curves, giving the illusion of a vortex in motion. The toy is balanced for optimal spinning.

Outer Grip Rings: Circular or spiral outer extensions for grip and improved rotational inertia.

Support-Free Design: The toy is modeled so that no overhangs exceed 45°, ensuring it can be printed without supports.

Ergonomic Grip: Designed with smooth edges for comfortable handling during prolonged use.

Printing Instructions:

Layer Height: 0.2 mm for a smooth surface finish.

Infill: 20–40% for balanced weight and durability.

Material: PLA or PETG for a solid and smooth print. Use flexible filament like TPU if a softer feel is desired.

Build Plate Adhesion: No brim or raft is needed; a skirt is sufficient for adhesion.

Orientation: Print flat on the build plate with the bearing pocket facing upward to ensure dimensional accuracy.

Additional Notes:

After printing, insert the bearing into the center pocket. If it feels tight, use light sanding or gentle heat to adjust the fit.

For better spin times, use a high-quality, lubricated bearing.

The vortex design can be scaled up or down to fit different hand sizes or preferences.

Optionally, add embossed or engraved patterns for aesthetic customization.
