FAST and Strong Painter's Pyramids

These are simple paint pyramids that elevate the piece you're painting so you can paint all sides at once, without waiting for it to dry.

This model is designed to be used with the Spiralize feature. When spiralized, they are still very strong, and stackable, and should only take a few minutes each to print. However, the print profile that I've included does not use the Spiralize feature; instead, it sets wall layers to 0 and removes the bottom. This lets you print 16 pyramids at once in about an hour.

I've also added 3-sided tripods and "tall" versions. The 3-sided tripods save a tiny bit of print time for similar strength. I am using the tall versions to paint a piece above a drying piece.

Print Settings:

Print with the Spiralize setting OR wall thickness set to 0 with no infill. Set the bottom layers to 0 to make them stackable. For a faster print, increase print speed but keep the initial layer speed lower to ensure adhesion. You may also want to decrease your "Minimum Layer Time" to about 2 seconds so that the upper layers don't slow down too much (this isn't an issue when you print a full plate).
