Begleri Fidget for M4/M8 hex nuts

thingiverse

This is a printable design of the classic begleri Greek toy. I created it using locally available materials, specifically hex nuts, so I could offer an alternative to existing designs. Simply print out this model, insert M4 or M8 hex nuts into the beads and use shoelaces or parachord to secure them in place. You'll have a functional begleri toy ready for play. If you're not familiar with this type of toy, search online for "begleri" and watch some videos - you won't be disappointed. Begleri toys are an excellent option for those who enjoy fidgets, as they require minimal materials: two small beads, six M4 nuts (or more depending on the desired weight), and a shoelace. This makes them extremely affordable, quick to assemble, and easy to use. I highly recommend giving begleri toys a try - just be warned that playing with them can be both addictive and entertaining! No additional support is required for printing this model, as bridging works well even in the small gaps between the beads. Have fun playing with your new begleri toy! UPDATE (18-MAY-2017): I've redesigned the M8 model to make it slightly smaller. Generally, a single M8 hex nut is sufficient - anything more can be potentially hazardous, especially for those who are not experienced users (ouch!).
