I saw this fidget design on AliExpress and decided to make one that could be 3Dprinted. Besides magnets, it doesn't use any hardware. You'll need 11 neodymium magnets (12 for 5x1 version) to make it work, and I made 3 versions:

  • 5x3mm magnets - Very strong and loud click and hard to use with one hand
  • 5x2mm magnets - Also nice and loud click but easy to use with one hand 
  • 5x1mm magnets - Quieter click, very easy to use one-handed, but the magnets are too thin to stick out of the top part to stop at the end of the rails. Also, this one uses one more magnet, so it's not too light to use.

If you'd like to use 6 mm magnets, scale the model to 118.5% in X and Y (More or less depends on how much clearance you want)

You'll probably need some glue for the magnets, as they like to jump out even if they sit snug in the hole.
