After printing some different threads I found them pretty fidgety. So I decided to make in into a fidget toy. 

Print instructions:

The model has a lot of 60degree overhangs, make sure your printer is able to do them well. Don't add supports.

 

I didn't want to have to use glue, but that makes the print a bit more tricky, as you have to add the ring mid print:

  • Print the Threadfidget_ring. I used an inner brim only in prusaslicer for easy removal.
  • Print the Threadfidget_base. Add a pause around 32 mm, in the pause carefully screw the ring on the base. I used a large brim on the base to reduce the chances of it coming loose. 

Make sure the ring is in the same orientation as printed, the bottom is flat, the top has a large chamfer on the inside (see picture).
