Magnetic fidget

Fast and hassle-free printing - ideal for fingers that spend all day handling something... Both sections require a neodymium magnet, each measuring 5 by 3mm in diameter. Place them with opposite polarity. The lower section features a hole at the bottom to facilitate easy removal of the magnet if initial assembly is incorrect. The two components join seamlessly with a 90-degree bayonet connection. Design tolerances are carefully selected to provide a secure friction fit between magnets and enable smooth movement within the parts. For me, printed components slide together effortlessly without requiring post-processing. Print the upper component with supports touching the build plate. The lower part has a maximum overhang of 45 degrees, making support unnecessary.
