Keychain Fidget Toy (Compliant Mechanism)

Description
Hi,
I think bistable mechanisms are fascinating - maybe you do so, too. With this fidget toy you can always carry one on your keychain!
It is small(22 x 34 x 3 (3.5) mm) and has a 4 mm hole on one side so that you can add it to your keychain. It is the smallest design I could print with my 0.4 mm nozzle that still works.
The switch in the middle has two positions, when you push the switch in upwards it snaps into its new position. If you push the switch back down it snaps into its original position.
Please note: Although this is a fidget toy, it can be brittle depending on your print settings and material used. I recommend to actuate it once (very carefully) after printing while the fidget toy is still warm. In my experience these mechanisms are quite sturdy, depending on your printer settings and filament. It's good for careful fidgeting.
I hope you like it :-)
How do you print it?
It consists of only one part and can easily be printed in around 20 minutes with no supports. I recommend a 0.12 mm layer height, a 0.4 mm nozzle, 20% gyroid infill and PLA.
If it does not work for you please leave a comment or shoot me a message instead of just posting a 1 star review, I'm sure there is no problem that can't be solved.
