One STEP file · nothing else supplied

SKYDRYER

The file arrived on the 26th. What you see here was built from it alone: the geometry as drawn, taken apart and put back together.

STEP · real-time

The file, turning

A cone of 370 mm with more than three thousand air openings, read straight from the STEP file, tessellated from the original surfaces and handed over as an object that turns in a browser. Drag it. Zoom into the perforations — every one of them is in the file.

Still, a part that turns

The file carries no joints — but the fan wheel is its own solid, so it can be set spinning on its own axis. Cone lifted, rings in place, two turns in six seconds.

And it comes apart

A shell would have nothing inside it. This file has six separable solids: the cone, the fan wheel, its housing ring, the base ring and the two buttons on the side. The film below lifts them apart and sets them back — twelve seconds, path-traced, on a loop.

The order of separation is ours — the file carries no assembly tree. Colour, finish and lighting are art direction; the geometry is untouched.
