Elevate your fidget experience with the SKS.3D.WS Smooth Thumb Slider. Unlike traditional magnetic sliders that rely purely on friction, this model integrates non-ferrous ball bearings to create a silky-smooth, gliding sensation. The combination of magnetic resistance and rolling bearings results in a premium haptic feel—snappy yet effortless—making it one of the most satisfying fidget in your collection.

The design is compact and ergonomic, featuring a recessed thumb track for maximum control. Whether you're looking for a quiet, rhythmic slide for focus or a loud, snappy click for stress relief, this slider delivers a high-end mechanical experience in a pocket-sized form factor.

HARDWARE REQUIRED To achieve the intended "smooth" glide, this model requires the following hardware:

Magnets: 4 or 6 pieces of 6mm x 3mm Neodymium Magnets (Dependent on Size)

Ball Bearings: 5 x Non-Ferrous Ball Bearings (Ceramic or plastic/glass is recommended to ensure they are not attracted to the magnets, allowing for a frictionless roll). I used Polypropylene Bearings

PRINT INSTRUCTIONS General Layer Height: 0.2mm

Walls: 3–4 perimeters to ensure the magnet pockets and bearing tracks are durable and rigid.

Supports: Designed to be printed 100% support-free.

Build: Designed to be glue free snap fit design.

Assembly Tip: Place a small drop of superglue in the magnet pockets to ensure they stay seated during fast sliding. (Not Critical)
