Fidget 'Flip Knife' Flipper Toy

thingiverse

A Safe Toy That's a Blast to Flip! Requires: 1 bearing (for flip mechanism) that keeps it going smoothly Recommended: 2 bearings (1 for the flip mechanism, 1 to add some serious weight to the 'blade') that'll take it to the next level Note: The parts fit together like a charm thanks to friction, but you might need to add a little glue depending on your print tolerances and settings. Updates: 14/04/2017 - Slim versions of handles are now available! 02/05/2017 - Thicker versions of handles have been removed to make way for something new Corrected pin size to ensure it's just right Altered bumps on the blade to make it easier to use Adjusted Handle_1 to make the motion smoother than ever Got any feedback or ideas that could take this thing to the next level? Feel free to message me and/or leave a comment. I'm all ears for good or bad feedback, and I'd love to hear your thoughts! Print Settings: Printer: Cetus3D - my go-to printer Rafts: Yes, but only if you need them for that tiny pin Supports: No way, not necessary when printed in the right orientation Resolution: 0.4mm, just right Infill: 13%, perfect amount of structure and weight Notes: Rafts aren't required for the main body, but they might be needed for that small pin to stay upright. Took me about 3 hours to print on my Cetus3D - not bad! No supports are necessary when printed correctly. How I Designed This: I designed it in Fusion 360, where creativity knows no bounds!
