Looking for a satisfying, ultra-lightweight EDC (Everyday Carry) fidget? This sleek, 3-piece Magnetic Fidget Slider is designed for smooth, tactile feedback and incredibly easy assembly. It weighs just 6 grams, making it the perfect pocket companion for focus and stress relief!
Key Features:
- Ultra-Lightweight: Only 6g in total.
- Zero Glue Required: The 3 parts are designed with tight tolerances to securely snap and lock together.
- Seamless Assembly: Quick and straightforward to put together.
Hardware Required:
- 4x Round Neodymium Magnets (5x3mm).
- Alternative: You can use 5x2mm magnets as well. Just be careful to place them flush with the surface and avoid pushing them too deep into the slots.
⚠️ Crucial: Magnet Polarity Setup For the slider to snap and push back correctly, you must arrange the magnet polarities like this:
- Slider Piece (Thumb Button): Let's assume the exposed side is Positive (+).
- Base Piece (3 Holes): From top to bottom, the magnets must alternate: Negative (-), Positive (+), Negative (-). (If your slider piece is Negative, simply reverse the base to +, -, +).
🖨️ Print Settings & Best Practices:
- Material: PLA works perfectly.
- Layer Height: 0.12mm is highly recommended. This ensures the sliding surfaces remain buttery smooth and the snap-fit mechanism locks in cleanly.
- Calibration: Make sure your printer is calibrated for smooth snap-fit.
