Textured Multi Fidget Cylinder with optional Rotating Magnet Case
I took the pattern from the outside of my fidget sliders, wrapped it around a cylinder, cut that cylinder with puzzle piece teeth, and then stuck 80 magnets inside that. The result is the most satisfying fidget toy I have ever gotten my hands on! I have one in my car at all times, and it genuinely keeps me from needing to touch my phone. The fit between the teeth is tight enough where they only want to slide up and down, but loose enough that it doesn’t stick or lock in place. The five rows of magnets mean the fidget will be able to open wide without falling off its tracks. I run an ironing operation on the last layer of the print so the top is VERY smooth, like glass.
I can print a “case” for anyone interested. It uses 12 more magnets to hold itself together. The cylinder uses the case like wheels, while the cylinder acts like an axel, letting the case spin freely around itself. The magnets are strong enough to hold the case together even when held only from above.
When picking colors, you can pick one, and I will print all 4 sections in that 1 color, or pick two, and I will print half and half.
