Dense Ratchet Marble-Style Bidirectional Fidget Slider Print Only No Additional Parts Needed Snap Coin Ratchet Coin EDC fidget toy Ancient Greek Pattern

Highly Recommended: Best Fidget Toys

Please review the following instructions thoroughly before printing：

The previous push slider was very popular after its release so I made a push slider with a brand-new structure The previous one focused on dampening feel while this one focuses on sound The sound of this push slider is very crisp and loud Under ideal conditions it can achieve an effect similar to a finished ratchet coin See the video below for details

Important Notes:

• Material sinkage rate greatly affects the feel I tested two materials namely low sinkage rate Bambu Lab PETG HF and high sinkage rate MoChuang ordinary PETG and provided corresponding print profiles for each
• This toy becomes smoother the more it's played with Since the printed beads are not perfectly round it is normal for the initial feel to be unsatisfactory You can first trim the spherical beads flat then apply a small amount of lubricant to the friction points After installing the top cover slide it back and forth firmly several times until it becomes smooth
• If you want to achieve the best feel and sound you can purchase 5 finished beads with a 4mm diameter yourself such as Teflon balls POM balls steel balls glass beads etc I personally use Teflon balls which provide an excellent feel and sound Additionally applying high-viscosity lubricant/grease to the beads can also improve the sound
• If the tight-fit version feels too loose after printing you can print the 5 beads in the print profile slightly larger (3%-5%) Spherical beads should be enlarged uniformly Cylindrical beads should only be enlarged in the X-Y direction
• The strength of the buckles on both sides of the top cover depends on the layer adhesion of the printing material If you encounter strength issues (very low probability) please search and learn how to strengthen the interlayer adhesion of 3D printed parts Also as long as there is no excessive play or wobbling in your buckles then by optimizing and adjusting the size of the beads and polishing their shape you will definitely achieve a good feel and sound
• The overhang of the spring part can be challenging to print Please try to use materials with better overhang performance (However even if it prints a bit ugly it does not affect functionality) The print profile has been optimized Please do not modify any parameters other than overhang speed
• The push slider in the video below was printed with Bambu Lab PETG HF paired with five 4mm Teflon balls and a small amount of 1000cs dimethyl silicone oil (The sound is also good with printed beads you can watch my previous videos on Bilibili)
