Compact gear fidget

thingiverse

I fell head over heels for Simiboy's snap-on gear design, but I craved something compact enough to fit snugly in my palm. So, I remixed his masterpiece into a custom-fit marvel tailored just to my liking. This baby stays by my side at all times, and I'm constantly fidgeting with it. In reality, I adore it more than any other treasure on this planet – even if that's not entirely true! Warning: Be cautious of the snug fit! When snapping them together, apply as much vertical pressure as possible to evenly distribute the stress across all three stems. Soon, I'll upload a loose version for those who prefer it. Update: I've added a second model (fidget_loose) with an expanded inner gear, reducing the likelihood of stem breakage during assembly. Post-Printing: The more you fiddle with it, the smoother it works. If your fit is tight or movement isn't silky smooth, squirt some toothpaste into the center and let it sit for a few minutes – and voilà! You'll have a sticky fidget that's pure bliss. After rinsing off the residue and drying it thoroughly with a gentle blow, the operation will be silky smooth and utterly relaxing. Don't forget to make a wish while blowing it dry – it's good luck, after all!
