Description

The size of the disc has been adjusted for optimal feel, resulting in a silky smooth tactile experience.

Supports were integrated into the model to maintain the ideal printing angle, which has been tested for optimal strength and surface smoothness.

 

Assembly Note:

The pieces fit together snugly; using a tissue or gloves is recommended. Those with less hand strength may require assistance.

 

Experiments with reducing the plug size proved unsuccessful, as it led to joint misalignment during rotation. The final design prioritizes functionality.

Once assembled, the pieces remain firmly connected, rotating smoothly for extended play.

 

2025.01.23:

Following user feedback regarding post-print processing difficulties, the model has been refined. The contact area between supports and the main body has been reduced, minimizing cleanup to just the base attachment points; no further processing is required.

Here is an image of the first one I printed It is truly exceptionally smooth and articulated Time will tell if it withstands my 16-year-old’s handling in the long run All the previous ones she’s had have ultimately become shorter and shorter 😏

Nu har jag printat med den nya uppdateringen och det blev mycket lättare att ta bort supporten. Nu slapp jag sandpappra helt. Stort tack och trevlig helg! Den röda är printad i röd transparent PETG och den blå i opak PETG.

Hello! I printed these yesterday in PETG and they turned out remarkably smooth and strong. HOWEVER, removing the built-in supports is quite time-consuming. First, I had to carefully cut them away with a scalpel, then sand them smooth, and finally, lightly burnish them to eliminate the matte finish left by the sanding. It’s a shame, as time is money. I have an autistic child who adores these, and while printing them is cheaper, the time required to finish them makes it difficult to justify the savings over buying pre-made ones. Just a thought ❤️❤️❤️❤️

The print profiles have been updated; please redownload and try again. Printing only two is sufficient, as they are identical. For other toys you’d like, please direct message me—I can create printable models for you. I enjoy making fun things.

Thank you for your feedback, to ensure a secure fit and prevent looseness, the assembly is intentionally snug The slight play is necessary to accommodate material shrinkage and ensure smooth rotation without binding, I will conduct further experiments to explore potential improvements
