Parabolic Spike

The Parabolic Spike is a geometric design featuring a grid of squares extruded to various heights, forming a sharp, stepped pyramid-like structure. Each layer of squares rises to create a visually striking pattern, with well-defined, rigid steps that lead to the top. The model's sharp edges and clean geometry make it both visually captivating and tactilely intriguing. Want to experiment with different aesthetics? Try adjusting the Z-height during slicing to create varied effects. Changing the height along the Z-axis can produce unique results, giving you more control over the final appearance. 3D Print Settings: The included 3MF file is set to a 0.12mm layer height to preserve the intricate details on the bottom border's first row of squares. If you prefer a faster print and don’t mind a minor loss of detail, you can switch to 0.16mm. However, for the full intended geometry, stick with 0.12mm. Here are the settings for FDM Printers - Infill: User Preference ( I use Gyroid, 10%) Supports: None Seam Position: Nearest Ironing on the top surfaces is recommended for a smooth finish on the square faces.
