Clicky Adapter for the Macro-Jack

prusaprinters

<p>This is exactly what it sounds like, a small piece that can be added to the base of the Macro-Jack that lets it make distinctive clicks when you spin the gear. There are six versions, each with varying levels of stiffness. Number 1 is the stiffest, while number 6 is the least stiff.</p><p>To insert the adapter, simply press it into the rectangular slot in the back. <i>(I have updated both base models in my original Macro-Jack post to have the necessary slot, so you will need to download them from there.)</i>&nbsp;</p><p>Be firm but gentle, as this is a small part. The adapter can be installed while the gear is in place, but it may be easier if the gear is put in after the adapter. There is a little ledge on the adapter to indicate when it is as far down as it can go. <i>(There may be a tiny gap still visible when you press it all the way down, but that is alright.)</i> Glue is optional, but not necessary.</p><p>Of course, that's not the only thing I've done. I have also made two new tactile rails to go with your Macro-Jack. One is a flat grid, the other a spiked grid. There is a free spin variant of each. What that means is that the bottom tooth on the rail is removed to let the gear spin freely when the rail is pushed all the way up. This way you can get the most out of your clicky adapter.</p><p>I have included versions of both the rails and the adapters for the A-Jack as well.</p><p>Personally, I am really enjoying this clicky addition, and I hope you do too. Please check out the Macro-Jack, post your makes, and happy printing!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="https://www.printables.com/model/231914-macro-jack-fidget-toy"><strong>Macro-Jack Fidget Toy</strong></a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><strong>Print Settings</strong></p><ul><li>Layer Height – 0.2mm</li><li>Material – PETG <i>(recommended for strength &amp; longevity)</i></li><li>Infill — 10-15% Gyroid</li><li>Perimeters – 3</li><li>Top Fill Pattern – Octagram Spiral</li><li>Bottom Fill Pattern – Octagram Spiral</li><li>Brim – Optional <i>(If you are worried about parts sticking to the bed)</i></li></ul>
