Cross Axis Helical Gear Fidget

This gear fidget uses cross axis helical gears to achieve a mesmerizing effect. The gears mesh together perfectly, despite being on completely different axies. Mounting plates were carefully engineered to snap together perfectly, giving the gears a stable axis to rotate around. I am proud of the snap fit joints in this model; they were carefully prototyped until I felt that the fit and snap were absolutely perfected. Print profiles are included for different ways to print this fidget. You can print it in a single color, in multiple colors with AMS, or in multiple colors with different plates. This is a great toy for anyone who benefits from fidgeting or is interested in different types of gears.

Printing Instructions:

1. Prepare the Print Bed
   • Clean the print bed thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol to ensure proper adhesion.
   • Additional adhesive for the print bed is highly recommended! I suggest using 3D-Lac spray or a glue stick.

   • Send the pre-configured print profile to your Bambu Lab printer through the Bambu Handy app or Download and open the pre-configured print profile in Bambu Studio.
