Description
Original - Copper Vortex V1
Base design that needs no infill, isn't numbered and doesn't have interlocking pieces to hide possible gaps.
Updated version - Copper Vortex V2
A new printprofile has been added with the Copper Vortex V2 Design.
Adding numbered and interlocking pieces to the design.
Same footprint of 84x60cm as the V1.
Alternative version - Copper Vortex Mini V1
It provides a smaller version to fit on most printbeds in a single print, and it still packs a visual punch.
Comes with numbered and interlocking pieces.
Final footprint of 22.5x22.5cm.
