Update, July 11, 2024: If you download prior to this date, you unfortunately have the wrong version of the files. Please download the updated copy. Changes include adding alignment nubs to the top half and adding an indent on the spring so the button doesn't slip out. If you've already printed it, you can reprint just the top half and the spring. Sorry for the mixup!
This fidget toy fits nicely in your hand and has a super satisfying springy button that also spins. It's easy to print and assemble with just 4 parts that snap and screw together - no glue required.
I spent hours optimizing the spring and button travel to make what I think is the most satisfying 3D printed fidget button out there. I'd love to hear what you think and incorporate your feedback into the next version.
I recommend using PETG for the spring if you can. PLA works too - the button may just get less springy over time.
Assembly
- Insert the button into the top half.
- Insert the spring into the bottom of the top half, aligning the notches. This is a tight friction fit.
- Screw on the bottom half.
