The file 'Swirly Hourglass 3D Printer Model' is (stl,f3d,form) file type, size is 10.7MB.

Summary

Spiral hourglass designed for an SLA printer, designed in Fusion 360 (It has so many curves that the program sometimes freezes up).
F360 archive file is included.
I used this tutorial to help me:

The main pieces were printed on a Formlabs Form 1+ with Clear V4 resin. This model is a bit tricky to print as one piece (you can see the attempts in the 2nd photo), so I split it up. Its easier to print as two identical halves with a joining pin in between. The .form file is included with the orientation and support placement I used (its better not to have any supports on the inside as they are hard to clean up).

The top and bottom covers were printed on a normal FDM printer (Blue ABS on the Zotrax M200)

Dont worry, I will make a video of it with falling sand, I just need to find some :P
