Fidget: Collapsible Fidget

This super satisfying fidget can be customized to be any shape or size with the simple adjustment of a number! I have added 9 sizes that are ready for printing but if you want more read down below on how to make your own unique parametric design.

HOW TO ALTER PARAMETERS:

• When you open the file in openscad it should show these parameters right at the top:

sections = 30;
radius = 60;
height = 10;
sides = 6;
tol = 1;
offset = 2;
line_thickness = 1;

• Simply change the numbers to your preferred amount and then press F6 to preview your progress, once you are happy with the result export the file. Note: Due to how OpenSCAD works you have to render your model rather than preview, as when you preview it comes out differently.

HOW TO EXPORT:

• Once you have altered the parameters accordingly you can export the file as an stl for 3d printing, you do this by pressing F6 on your keyboard to render and then pressing file in the top right, then pressing export and then export as stl

Parameters:

• sections: The amount of moving polygons in your model
• radius: The outer radius of your model
• height: the total height of your model
• sides: The number of sides to each polygon
• tol: The gap between each polygon
• offset: The amount of bulge to your design. (Keep this at least 1 mm smaller than your tol to ensure the pieces don't fall out of each other)
• line_thickness: The width of the lines making each polygon.
