  • Description

Size: Small (0-5cm)

Defy geometry right on your desk! 🤯


This Impossible Ball Screw Toy is a mesmerizing mechanical illusion. Watch the spiral core seamlessly pass all the way through the matching outer sleeve with a perfectly smooth, satisfying twist. It feels like magic, but it’s just pure precision engineering.


No AMS or MMU required! 🚫🎨 You don’t need an expensive multi-material system to get this awesome look. The parts print separately as clean, single-color pieces. Just pick your two favorite contrasting filaments—like a vibrant blue and a silky green—and you're ready to go.


Why you'll love printing this:


  • 100% Support-Free: Optimized for clean, hassle-free printing.
  • The Ultimate Fidget: An incredibly tactile, addictive kinetic object.
  • Tolerance Showcase: A fantastic way to test and show off your printer's dialing precision.


Download the files, pick your colors, and share your makes! Happy printing!

Amazing 3D print! The dual-material design looks incredible, with a clean black outer cage and a crystal-clear inner spiral. High quality and flawless execution.

Yeah, exactly! It's resin. Honestly don't have too many colors on hand, haha.

There are plenty of resin colors - just print each part in a different color. FDM offers one-print multi-color, but resin quality makes up for it.

I personally prefer FDM. No hassle, and you can get multi-color in one print
