Description

This fidget is extremely mesmerizing thanks to its two nautilus gears and hidden gear ratio, which allow it to spin in a really interesting way. It can be confusing to understand how all the gears mesh together, and it took a ton of prototypes to get everything working perfectly.

 

The hidden 1:3 gear ratio creates so many different ways to fidget. This means that every time you spin the main gear once, the nautilus gear spins three times.

 

While this model is not print-in-place, every part prints without supports or post-processing. It only requires a couple of simple snap-in-place joints, and then it is ready to use. The entire fidget takes only 84 minutes and just over 30 grams of filament to print, making it a great bang-for-your-buck model, I'm honestly REALLY PROUD of this model and i hope you guys like it as much as I do. 

 

I have tried to make this process as easy as possible, any questions drop them below and I will do my best to anwser. 

Step 1: Before assembling crack the 2 naticaul gears and ensure they are meshing together correctly.

Step 2: The 2 parts should snap together ensure you have the correct orinetation.

Step 3: Snap the gear onto the rectangular part.

Step 4: Pop the gear onto the hole.

Step 5: Bring the 2 main pieces together be sure to have the one on the bottom as showed in the picture.
