Whirly Wash – Faucet-Powered Vortex Washer (Single-Piece Print).

Whirly Wash is a one-piece, faucet-powered vortex washer designed to sit directly over a standard sink drain. When water is directed into the side inlet tube, it enters the chamber tangentially, generating a dynamic vortex that spirals downward and drains cleanly through the central cone.

Design Highlights:

• Prints as a single, self-contained unit—no assembly required.
• Minimal support needed; optimized for easy, clean printing.
• Functional and sculptural: ideal for rinsing produce, small items, or demonstrating fluid dynamics.
• Fits most standard sink drains; dimensions can be scaled to suit.

Print Specifications:

• Material: PLA or PETG recommended for water exposure
• Layer Height: 0.2 mm
• Supports: Minimal (primarily under the inlet tube and cone slits)
• Orientation: Print upright for best results

Whirly Wash combines utility and motion in a compact, elegant form—perfect for makers who enjoy functional prints with a touch of scientific flair.
