This is a 3D version of the popular transforming fidget which when most compact is a ball but can be squished into a long beam.

The mini version is now up

@user_2885977772

The designer has replied

@CGprints

I agree I have the a1 but I really want one that isn't ash much filament

@user_2885977772

Replying to @CGprints :

i want the fidget ball but only have a1 mini

@macjfll

I am working on a smaller version for people who want to print on the a1 mini or use less filament. I just have to print test it then I will upload it.

Other Issues

@user_2375434016

I’m having the same issue

@user_2576292009

@dogpool1212

you can loosen it by just using it really fast for a few seconds

I have no words

@ChestnutThing

You really gotta check your print occasionally

@TheRealZane

Finally got it to work, but it sucks It’s really hard to make it to work and supports are a pain to get off And plus it’s really hard to pull them apart

@3DBOYZ

I scaled this down for the first print on the A1M (smallest one at the top) - it was nearly impossible to get it to squish, but after stomping on it for a while (at that point I did not care if I broke it into a million pieces lol), it finally worked. I didn't catch the scale size because I immediately reprinted at 76.04% (the next two). I do not recommend going smaller than 76%. It works great; Took a bit of time to remove the supports but it wasn't nearly as difficult to squish. My kids love them. Each print used nearly half the roll of filament, but super cool!

@macjfll

The problem I found when making my mini version is that if I just scale it down the clearances can’t be printed well by the printer so that’s why I had to remodel it for the a1 mini.

really long print time utilizing a significant amount of filament. but, sooo worth it! everyone that touches it can’t put it down! Will print another with a gradient color.

took a lot of filament and time but it still looks pretty cool

@dogpool1212

would you say it's worth it? and/or good for a 6y old (I don't mean me)

@dogpool1212

I mean I'm not 6

@jazzyman2024

after I figured out how to use it it’s great

Oh my gosh this took so long and so much, but was worth it. Some small errors where the supports were, but it works and is amazing

neat. 51 hours was harrowing, but it printed perfectly. Supports took quite a while to remove. To get it flexing I practically stood on it and also massaged it to get it loosened. worth the trouble!

@d1n32ld2lf3n4

it's amazing! but I have to be true and say that it's a hard-working post process..
