Fold it, flap it fiddle with it! There are seemingly endless combinations with this original fiddle toy!

And if you have a better idea for a name once you have printed it please comment!

I wanted to experiment with “live hinges” with PLA, which resulted in a print-in-place fiddle toy that has kept me entertained for hours!

I am surprised at how resilient the live hinge is, however, it is essential to print with the profile for it to work. Or if not set to 0.1mm layer height and infill and bridge angle to 45 degrees.

When you first take it off the plate gently bend each hinge in the obvious direction to loosen it up.

The joints won't last forever, but when they do break you are left with a new and different fiddle toy that's just as much fun. I've added "repair patches to the design on a separate place - these can be stuck on broken joints using some CA to prolong the enjoyment!

***DO NOT print in PLA+ - I've noticed PLA+ joints last about 5 bends whereas regular PLA will last hundreds…

If you want to try another interesting fidget toy with live hinges - you will like my new Squishy TPU infinite cube - give it a try!

Fun, quick print! This is my second one after knowingly setting myself up for disaster by trying brittle two-color glow and sparkle filaments. This high-speed PLA version should hold up much better. Let's see how fast I can fiddle til it goes from square to something else!

@taylormadearmy

lovely!

@3DMagpie

It lasted about a week with frequent fiddling, which honestly was way longer than I expected!

@jeremyprice11
