Squishy Loopz - Rounded Donut

Squishy Loopz Series The Squishy Loopz series is a fun twist on the traditional desk fidget. These models are engineered to be printed in a single continuous loop, resulting in a flexible and tactile object that is as much a piece of art as it is a toy. Each entry in the series uses a different geometric path to change the crunch and flexibility of the final print. The Rounded Donut Meet the Rounded Donut, a new evolution of the Squishy Loopz series that takes the classic donut spring fidget to a whole new level! Unlike the original design, which features flattened top and bottom surfaces, the Rounded Donut follows a fully rounded torus profile, creating a smooth, continuous ring with a beautifully uniform shape. The rounded geometry changes the way the spring responds to pressure. While it's a little less stretchy than the original, it's every bit as squishy, with a satisfying springy rebound and a firmer, more controlled feel when compressed. The tightly packed spiral fins create a mesmerizing ripple effect as you squeeze, roll, and manipulate the donut in your hands. It's the perfect combination of satisfying mechanical movement and eye-catching geometric design. Key Features Fully Rounded Profile: A true donut shape with no flattened top or bottom, giving it a smooth, continuous appearance. Satisfying Squish: Just as squishy as the original, with a slightly firmer feel and less stretch. Springy Rebound: The curved fins flex under pressure and spring back into shape when released. Mesmerizing Texture: Closely spaced spiral fins create a unique tactile experience and beautiful visual patterns. Print-in-Place: Prints as one continuous spiral with no assembly, supports, or AMS required. Functional Art: Equally at home as a desk fidget or an eye-catching geometric display piece. Slicer Instructions To achieve the intended flexibility and mechanical action, please use these specific settings: Spiral Vase Mode: Enabled Wall Thickness: Exactly 0.4 mm Brim: Disabled (None) Bottom Shell Layers: 0 Supports: None Crucial Printing Tips Because these models utilize a single wall with no brim, first-layer adhesion is critical to prevent the fins from warping or releasing from the bed mid-print. DO NOT PRINT IN TPU: It doesn't work and will end up being a beautiful spaghetti sculpture. Clean Your Build Plate: Thoroughly wash your build plate with warm water and dish soap (like Dawn) or wipe it down with high-concentration Isopropyl Alcohol (IPA) to remove skin oils and dust. Slow It Down: If you experience adhesion failures or find the fine details are pulling up during the first few layers, reduce your first-layer print speed or overall printing speed to give the filament more time to bond cleanly to the bed. Let It Cool: Allow the print to cool completely before removing it from the build plate to avoid deforming the delicate spring structure. ⚠️ IMPORTANT! When using the Customize option, ensure the following settings are enabled: Spiral Vase: Enabled Smooth Spiral: Enabled Bottom Shell Layers: Set to 0 Check out the other Squishy Loopz designs on my profile and follow for more to come!   Also available: The Anti-DonutThe Spiral MiniThe WaveThe LightningThe Flower
