Audio Cassette - Tape Fidget Slider

Bill of Materials
Description
A nostalgic fidget slider designed after the iconic audio cassettes of the 80s and 90s.
Made in two pieces, it uses 6x2 mm magnets to create a smooth and satisfying mechanism: each slide generates slight magnetic resistance, making it perfect as a pocket or desk fidget.
The slider moves back and forth thanks to the magnet arrangement, offering a pleasant tactile and sound experience.
