Fidget Keychain - Halloween Edition

CAUTION: The following product is clinically proven to be addictive and satisfying!!!

Looking for something to 3D print for those Trick or Treaters? The Fidget Keychains are quick to print and low material! You can print a single one in less than 20 minutes or whole batch of fidget clickers in a matter of hours!!!

Unlike loud and annoying snappers, these are quiet (unless you go excessively hard) which is perfect for classrooms, waiting rooms, libraries, study session, etc.

For best results, break in the fidget keychain while the piece is still fresh and warm (within a few minutes of when the print finished). When I say “break in”, it means to take it in both hands and click it back and forth as quick as you can for approximately 30 seconds. The more you use it, the more “snap” it will have!

This fidget keychain is designed with compliant mechanisms. It was inspired by projects done by BYU CMR. With that in mind and since we are not using polypropylene, eventually the mechanism will fatigue. When that does, I'm sorry. I hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. Print another one and go again!!

Printing Material Notes:

• PLA Matte
  • Prints great! I use this for the majority of my prints.
• PLA Basic
  • I noticed this material squeaked a little when I first used it. With more use, the squeak went away and I got a rather satisfying click…until it fatigued.
• PLA-CF
  • This one will Snap! It will be loud, but also extremely satisfying. Once you go PLA-CF, you won't go back.
• PLA Silk
  • Looks amazing BUT it doesn't snap very well.

Future upgrades coming soon!
