Wavy Springo

Another amazing Springo printed without supports using regular old PLA! This Springo has a smooth wavy surface that can come off as fun or classy, depending on your color choice.

 

Print at .15mm layer height for this to work correctly. Check the layers in your slicer, there should be a 1-2 layer gap between each layer of the spring. I print with 3 shells/outlines and 7 top, 6 bottom layers so the spring itself is solid. After printing, separate carefully with a palette knife, butter knife, etc. How easily the springo separates will vary based on your printer, filament, slicer settings, etc.. So good luck and please share your results!

You should be very cautious separating the layers of the Springo, but once it's correctly popped apart these things are surprisingly resilient for PLA prints. 

Model photographed was printed with [MatterHackers PRO PLA Neon Green](http://bit.ly/NeonGreenPLA). It looks wicked, and glows under a black light!

Springo Skull

What a spooky Springo!

Print at .15mm layer height and separate spring manually after printing. No supports required!

100% infill is recommended. Results vary by slicer, but basically make sure the layers above and below the small Springo gaps are printing solid (Simplify3D recognizes these as top and bottom layers so you can use a lower infill, but Cura won't recognize the layers as top/bottom, and therefor prints infill instead of solid).

You can use a glow-in-the-dark filament like [Polymaker Blue Glow PLA](https://amzn.to/3KtK8mB) for a cool effect!

Classic Springo

Believe it or not, you can print a super springy Springo on your FDM 3D printer without any support material!

For best results, print at .15mm layer height with 100% infill. You may scale this by proportionately changing layer height. Prints without supports, just carefully pry the Springo apart after printing! See [my video about it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgY7ovYWplg) for more details.

Rocket Springo

A spacey Springo for wobbling through the universe! For best results, print at .15mm layer height with 100% infill. You may scale this by proportionately changing layer height. Prints without supports, just carefully pry the Springo apart after printing! I personally only split apart one of the two helical cuts so the rocket is more springy than floppy (and I was scared of breaking it!)

If you've got a giant printer, combine this with my Rocket Smoke model for an impressive display!



Springo Santa Hat

Pentagon Springo

This five-sided Springo behaves a bit differently! For best results, print at .15mm layer height with 100% infill. Prints without supports, just carefully pry the coil apart with a palette knife, butter knife or something similar after printing!

Baby Springo

This tiny Springo is more 'springy' than the larger ones. It has the same tolerances as my larger models so it's a good quick test before printing larger Springos.

Ideally, you should not scale this model and print at .15mm layer height. I carefully split the layers apart using an X-acto knife. They should come apart quite easily without having to cut through plastic, you are simply pulling apart the weak bond between the rings. 

If your layers aren't separating, try lowering print temp./increasing print speed. Quick layer cooling helps so use your cooling fan at 100%.

GIANT Springo

This massive Slingo is larger than a pineapple. Woah.

Made for a .15-.2mm layer height. Scaling is unlikely to work unless you modify layer height proportionately (1:0.15mm), so you'll need a rather large printer to handle this beast. This also uses a mountain of filament, so I suggest perfecting smaller springos before even attempting this behemoth!
