This is a customisable spacer compatible to the GraviTrax system. Height and many other parameters can be adjusted to your needs.
You can chose how many 60° steps you want to twist it.
Design will require support and I think it is more beneficial to print the part with the male connector to the bottom (opposide to what is shown on the picture).
I propose that you first print a small sample, say 10mm height (simply possible by choosing the test print option). Then check If dimensions of the hexagons fit for your printer. Then, after possible adjustments, go for the bigger ones.
I had good results on a Creality Ender 3 with
male_connector_width = 29.78;
female_connector_width = 29.80;
Infill 30%, Layer height 0.1
Update January 2025: Version 0.2 now has an option to create a spacer which doesn't need support. You need to choose in the print settings "generate support in the stl file".
