Jaret's Fidget Twister Collection

thingiverse

A collection of Fidget Twisters inspired by an original design created by Devin Montes is now available for printing. These four designs were showcased in his most recent YouTube video, part of his Twister series. Since I know Devin will be releasing his twister designs soon, I've decided to make mine public now. They may not fit neatly in a pocket, but they demonstrate that any shape can work as a twister design if your printer can handle it. Each design features a 45-degree overhang, allowing them to print with no supports when filament settings are optimized for the specific material being used. Feel free to print one or more and provide feedback or suggestions for new twisters. I hope you enjoy them! Print Settings: Printer Brand: FlashForge Printer: Creator Pro Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 10-20% Notes: Print the shell first, preferably in a different color than the core. Sand away the bottom of the shell to remove the edge that forms on the buildplate. When the core is more than halfway done printing, pause the print and slide the shell on. This is a good time to ensure the shell fits correctly before finishing the longer core print. If the shell slides on easily without much force, resume the print. When finished, the shell will be held onto the core by the end caps. These can be resized up or down; just remember that smaller sizes will stick more and larger sizes will slip more. I aimed for optimal sizes during printing, but you may need to tweak them due to variation in printers and materials/shrinkage, as well as on-the-fly resizing that wasn't saved during my original printing process.
