Description

This is for all you constant fidgeters out there. A while back I came across a really expensive fidget toy that used magnets to make a satisfying click. I didn't like the price so I decided to make it myself, I just recently updated the model to now be parametric! If you'd like to make a custom version you can do that here:

Onshape Parametric Model

For those of you who just want to get printing, I've prepared 5x2mm, 6x2mm, and 10x2mm packs. Here's a couple of rules to follow when printing these:

  • Calibrate your printer - Tolerances are baked in at 0.2mm
  • For embedded version Pause at height before it covers the magnet holes\
  • Flip the paddles over in your slicer for better printability
  • Keep your magnets stacked together, put all of the magnets in for the base, flip your stack of magnets and start putting them in on the paddles from the other end. This will ensure your magnetic polarities match up.

Recommended Print Settings

  • Layer Height = 0.1mm
  • Infill = 50%
  • Concentric top/bottom pattern (not necessary but looks really good)

The file names may look weird, but I assure you there is a method to my madness!

  • Base_(MagDia)x(MagThick)_(NumRows)x(NumColumns)_(embedded?).3mf
  • Paddle_(MagDia)x(MagThick)_(NumRows)_(embedded?).3mf

See that's not so hard.
