Digit Fidget Massager

Digit Fidget Massager

Because it Feels Good! A quick, fun print that feels even cooler than it looks! The Digit Fidget Massager is designed to help relieve stress, keep your hands busy, and maybe even ease a bit of finger tension and improve circulation.  

• Quick Print time: ~45 minutes for single row version. 
• Assembly: 5 minute. Snap-fit, no glue required
• Design: Modular with  more variations coming soon

Options

• There are several configurations possible with this print. One, two or three rows of wheels/rollers. For the basic model just print the ring and a single set of 6 springs and wheels (+1 spare of each). The longer of the springs is best for a single row.
• Wrapping a rubber band around the springs makes it much tighter.

Spare Parts

• One extra spring and wheel are included as spares.

NOTE: I made the tolerances really tight so it will assemble without glue. But if you find the fit too tight I also included a looser fit version of the ring. You may have to use glue with that one to keep the pins in place. Just tip each pin in a puddle of superglue before inserting. Recommend super glue gel.

Assembly Instructions

1. Clean the Parts
   • Remove any brim and support material from all printed pieces. Especially the axels on the wheels and the socket they go in.
   • TIP: Use 220-grit sandpaper to quickly remove left over support and smooth the wheels.
2. Attach the Springs to the Wheels
   • Firmly hold the wheel or place on a firm surface.
   • Position a spring over the wheel axel and press down firmly with your finger until it snaps into place.
   • With the short springs it really helps to lie the spring down on a table and press the wheel straight down into place.
3. Check Wheel Movement
   • Spin each wheel several times to work it in and to make sure it turns freely.
   • If any wheel feels tight, check the axle area for support materials.
4. Prepare the Ring
   • The ring has two distinct sides. 
   • For a single row of wheels. Use the side with six holes OR put a spring in every other hole on the 12 hole side. 
   • On the side of the ring with 12 holes you can put 6 short and 6 long springs for two rows.
   • For 3 rows use both sides of the ring and two short and one long set of springs.
5. Insert the Pins
   • Working in one direction (clockwise) go around the ring, insert one pin into each hole.
   • Hold the ring on its side, steady with one hand and press each pin firmly into place with the other.
   • The last pin is the most tricky since it gets tight.
