Description

Introducing, the Schmidt Fidget. A mesmerizing gadget designed to engage your senses and offer hours of soothing, tactile exploration. Drawing inspiration from the workings of real-world train couplers this fidget toy provides a stimulating and one-of-a-kind experience.

Features

  • 100% printed parts! No glue, screws, or other materials are needed.
  • Two versions are available. Thicc and Thin. The Thin Version is nice for really long chains (10+ modules) while the Thicc Version is better for shorter chains (7 or fewer modules).
  • Make a chain of modules as long or as short as you want
  • Satisfying to the Touch
  • Mesmerizing Kinetic Motion

The smooth surfaces and fluid movements of this toy create a tactile experience. Its gentle motion and turns offer a tactile journey for both children and adults alike.

 

The Schmidt Fidget showcases a mesmerizing mechanism that mimics (say that 10 times fast) the hypnotic motion of a Schmidt Coupler. Manipulating this toy brings axles and levers to life presenting a captivating display of intricate motion.

Unleash your inner engineer as you dive into the mesmerizing realm of wonder with the Schmidt Fidget. This delightful tactile experience blends engineering artistry with the benefits of fidgeting providing an enjoyable sensation, for those seeking relaxation and sensory engagement.

 

Plates Available

I have included 5 different plates. The Thicc Version has a plate for 3 modules and 7 modules. The Thin Version has a 3-module, 7-module, and 10-module plate available. The STLs are also included, one for each version, so you can print as many or as few as you would like.

 

Assembly

If you have any loose-fitting pins simply clamp down on the very tip of one with pliers to flatten the thin part of the pin out a hair and then fit it again. It should click into place.

 

ETC.

I designed this model to enter the Fidget Contest on MakerWorld. Don't forget to leave me a thumbs up and 5 stars. Thanks!

 

I am still pretty new to CAD so any tips or critiques are more than welcome.

 

Designed with LOVE in Fusion 360

I ❤️ My Bambu!
