Description

The model needs a little bit of assembly before you can use it. You'll need some kind of glue, ideally superglue. The model comes in 4 parts. Each of the parts needs to be printed once. 

What color you use for what part is of course up to you ;)

I recommend printing in PETG as the spring feels better and should last longer that way. PLA works as well though.

I designed this model with a layer height of 0.2mm in mind so I recommend printing it like that too.

 

Assembly

  1. Glue “ClickySliderFidget_UpperMechanism.stl” onto “ClickySliderFidget_LowerMechanism.stl”. Be sure NOT to get any glue onto the springs or the mechanism might not work at all.
  2. Place the glued slider into “ClickySliderFidget_Body”. I recommend moving the slider around for a while and then cleaning the main body and the slider. This way you can get rid of minor imperfections in the surface and ensure that the mechanism glides perfectly.
  3. Glue “ClickySliderFidget_Lid” onto the main body.

The fidget might need a little use before it glides well. I have added a tiny little bit of lubricant to mine as well.

Have Fun!
