Thank you so much for sharing these gear balls with us. This by far is my favorite one. Thank you for allowing us to sell the printed product through your commercial license.
The download zip does not have the connectors in it except for the "ALL" file (which is too wide for my printer). (Could I suggest making the layout a bit more square instead of rectangular). It is just over the 220mm width of my printer (it works if I scaled it to 98%)).
Hey, Yea i forgot the conector. I just add it.
I make the all plates for bambu size since they are the most common printer atm.
If you use orca slicer you can always use rarrange get a configuration that fits your printer.
I have a Bambu Lab A1 that I'm printing on, so I use Bambu Studio for the slicer, not sure if you slicer will allow you to add a second plate like Bambu Studio does. If you can, you can move all the little pieces to the second plate and print them separately, luckily for me my Bambu comes with a 256mm plate. Hope this helps.
Seconding this. I like to use basic colors for pins and connectors. The All file is too big for my 220mm bed and I can't print the whole thing as separates like your other projects. Really excited to print it when I can!
As soon as this print is done I will send this one to print. I need a new fidget to work with. :-) I do like to be able to separate the clips as well. Thank you for having them separate. I don't like printing with PETG because it messes with my nozzle. So I print way too many clips than I need so I don't have to print them again for a while. Is it printed in PLA entirely or are the clips printed in PETG or another strong filament?
Fix my issue. Changing the walls on the connectors to arachne made the connectors much stronger.
----I am having issues with the 6 connectors breaking when assembling. They keep snapping in half when little pressure is put on them to put in the pins.

any thoughts to creating stronger clips and pins for this one?

have you tried scaling this down ? If so how small can you safely go ?
can you share a video to see how it works? thank you!
Hey, just did that.
