Sword in the Rock Fidget Button
This fidget button is styled as a sword embedded in a faceted rock, turning a simple press mechanism into a playful desk object. The sword can be pushed down into the rock, and an internal spring system smoothly pushes it back up with a satisfying response. It’s compact, stable on a desk.
The contrast between the angular rock base and the bold sword handle makes the interaction feel more dramatic than a standard clicker. Pressing the sword down gives a clear mechanical feedback, while the upward motion adds a small sense of anticipation each time. It’s a lighthearted piece that mixes motion and theme.
This design is also part of a personal challenge I’m doing for the year 2026: designing and releasing a brand new 3D printable model every single day for an entire year. Each design will explore a different idea—some practical, some playful, some reflective. If you enjoy following creative processes, testing new designs, or simply watching ideas turn into physical objects, feel free to follow along and join me on this 365-day journey.
