Your fingers called. They’re bored. Let’s fix that.
Built from scratch, this tactile sensory device / fidget toy was painstakingly designed, drawn, tweaked, and refined in order to provide something that blends simple gyro-like rotation and spinning with irresistible textures. It's a sensory playground for your fingers!
🎉 Each fidget toy is print-in-place, with no supports, bridging, or overhangs.
☺️ Every texture was chosen to spark delight, calm restlessness, and help keep your hands happily busy.
You can choose from amazing tactile patterns such as:
- Pebbles
- Studs
- Waves
- Cogs
- Spikes
- Crosses
- Treads
With so many texture and pattern options available, this perfectly pocket-sized fidget toy will certainly delight your digits!
Go ahead and flip, flick, press, grind, scrape, roll, or spin one of these. It's a 360° playground for your hand.
🎁 Perfect for:
- Zoom call survival
- Creative brainstorming
- Stress relief
- Halloween gift for trick-or-treaters
- Christmas gifts
- Classroom gifts
- Or just giving to that one friend who always needs to be fiddling
💡 There is a “Standard” print profile with models that have a 0.20mm gap between rings and a “Loose” print profile with models that have a larger 0.30mm gap between rings.
A smaller gap can helps with smoother movement and better motion, but you may have better luck when printing with a larger gap.
I'd recommend going with the “Standard” print profile, but going with the “Loose” print profile may be more forgiving of your printer or filament settings.
‼️ Please note that when first printed, the fidget toy can be quite stiff. Give it a few presses on each side to get each ring free. You basically need to “break it in” before it can move smoothly. It also works better the more you use it!
