Description

PDF

This is a remix of the Straight Pole Curved Hole Illusion originally by SRFin on Thingiverse and reuploaded to Printables by Prusa Guy. 

I combined the platform that rotates with the pole into a single file at precisely the angle required, so there is no need to glue them together and fiddle around with the angle when doing so. All that is needed is a color change. 

Bearings

The issue with purely uploading someone else's design is that all of the relevant information is not copied over. So, in case you missed it, you actually need to print three bearings. Two go on the inside of the base, and the last goes on the outside to secure the crank. 

Print Settings

I have provided two files: the original .stl for reference, as well as the .3mf with all the settings I used. I would recommend just using the latter file, as it includes the color change. However, I could not figure out how to slow it down after the color change, so I would use the dial on your printer to slow it down to around 50%. PrusaSlicer may say the object is sinking, but it is only by a little bit to avoid some extra supports, saving filament and time. Additionally, you may notice that there is a seemingly random cylinder. This is to give the actual part time to cool and can be discarded once finished.
