An easy to print snappy fidget toy.
Printing All parts can be printed without supports.
Add a brim if your printer has any difficulty with curling around sharp corners.
The Button caps can be printer either upside down (no bridging) or right side up (potentially nicer top layer with minor hidden bridging).
Customization
Frame Options
- Single button
- 3x1 Row
- 2x2 Square
- 3x3 Square
- Tall Frame
Spring Options
- Stiff
- Normal
- Soft
Add alignment bars, if necessary, to reduce button wiggle. This is not necessary for the tall frame
Assembly
- Insert spring(s) into frame. Make sure that the spring is oriented so that the flexible sides line up with the two chamfered edges in the frame hole.
- Use a gel-like glue to attach button caps to either end of the spring. Avoid gluing the buttons to the frame.
- If desired, add alignment bars. If the bars do not stay in place, use a very small drop of glue on either end of the alignment bar. Make sure not to accidentally glue the spring.
Updates
- All springs and button caps have been updated to snap together. Glue can still be used, but is now optional. This is a tight fit, but a little force should work.
