A collection of fidgets I have designed as sensory aids. 
3D printing can be used to enhance your sensory aids. You can change the weight and feel of the fidget by altering the infill and filament used. aYou can also change the size of the fidget to fit the user, and add textures such as fuzzy skin.
Sensory aids can be used by anybody to help them cope with stressful situations or concentrate and focus. They are particularly useful for some neurodivergent people and people with mental health concerns.

This is Spike, he is a fidget pig. He doesn’t have any moving parts, but he does have bits that are smooth and bits that are spikey and he fits snuggly into the palm of your hand. 

Print with supports touching buildplate.
I find that a 50% infill gives him a nice weighted feel.

A flexible bracelet that can be worn straight or with a twist.

I think this would also be good as a fidget bracelet as it is very tactile and nice to touch and play with.

I'd advise printing the first layer nice and slow. I printed at 0.3mm layer height with the frist layer down to 10mm/s

You can find a smaller (child) size version here: https://social.thangs.com/m/401882

A larger, sturdier, version of my colin the articulated caterpillar model designed as a fidget. 

I suggest printing at 60% infill to give the model some weight when being played with.

This is a stackable version of my tiny pig. See who can stack the most, or use with kiddies as a fun counting game. :) They stack front to back as well.

I made a little brush to clean all the nooks and crannies of your keyboard and whatever other little places you have that are getting a bit dusty!

Print at 0.12mm layer height, if using Bambu Studio set your wall generatoer to Arachne.

Once complete use a sharp knife or scraper to trim the string holder off and start using your brush!

A smaller, easier to print, version of my fidget caterpillar.

I'd advise printing this at a nice high infill percentage, maybe 60-80% to give it a nice weight and solidity.

Introducing Cubeys, tiny little cuboid creatures that stack in almost any way you want.

There are four to choose from with different eye positions and small or large feet (larger is easier to stack and less likely to fall over).

Print without supports

The colour change for the eyes is done using a filament swap

This is a roller fidget that you can roll in the palm of your hand.
 It prints without supports and snaps together.

You can create a different feel by increasing the infill in the base to get a heavier feel. You can also try printing with fuzzy skin on the rollers to give texture or with silk filament to make it extra smooth. You can swap rollers in and out easily.
