Description

Tread clicker fidget, taking inspiration from some of the best creations I have seen and creating a satisfying, easy to build toy. Requires no glue and can easily be assembled in under 1 minute. The track clicks either direction and is easy to spin, has been revised multiple times and tested for over a week.

 

I printed this using elegoo pla, using a few supports, due to the spring required for the build its recommended against using silk as has only been tested using basic pla filaments. Please follow the print profiles as closely as possible.

 

How to build -

 

Step 1 -

Remove all supports.

Step 2 -

Gently flex the tracks being careful not to damage the hinge, so the track is able to freely rotate.

Step 3 -

Insert the spring as per the orientation in the above photograph (you may leave the spring out if you intend to use without the clicker function.

Step 4 -

Place the wheels inside the track as shown.

Step 5 -

Lower the wheels and track simultaneously as shown above, gently moving the spring aside as you lower into the notches on the wheel as shown.

Step 6 -

Align the base and top with he orientation shown above and then gently click the two pieces together.

Step 7 -

Done, rotate the track a few times ensuring the clicker function works - if the track feels stiff, rotate a few times further until the device rotates easily and enjoy.

I tried to print it at least 5 times, on the 6th I managed to print it with the A1 printer set to silent speed and after finally managing to print it... it broke immediately...

Sorry that happened, you mind me asking what filament you used? and also if you changed any settings at all?

Replying to @FilliFuu :
As filament I'm using Sunlu's PLA+, not the top one but I always managed to print everything, now I'm only printing the belt I added the external and internal brim and removed the supports

Replying to @Stradino :
After looking at the comments I think someone else reported a problem with sunlu pla plus. I've experimented a few times in the past with pla plus and find it prints thicker almost, I'm not sure. It's like it reduces the tolerance, maybe try thinner walls? If not, I have printed with basic sunlu without any problems. i hope that helps.

Awesome model - It was the 3 print on my P1S and as a newbie to the 3d world it printed flawless. I now want to do a multi colored one.

Hard to know if it's me or the model, but printed in eSun PLA+ this is just too stiff when assembled to be a fidget toy. The track is really cool but just tolerances seem too tight?

Hi, maybe because its pla+ perhaps? I've tested with 3 different colours now without any issues. Did you change anything on the print profile?

The design is insane ! printed perfectly in PLA, although I tried to print the rail in PETG and it came out a disaster I had to stop the print. PLA is perfect though. Any idea how to make this print possible with PETG ? Im a beginner.

Thanks, glad you like it. To be honest I haven't used PETG in a long time, I will however look into it.
