Magnetic Fidget Slider

thingiverse

This is a small handheld fidget toy that uses an array of magnets to create a satisfying click-click as the two halves move past each other. The unique arrangement of the magnets keeps the two halves firmly held together between steps but the two halves still slide very smooth against each other. I recommend printing on a glass bed so you can have very smooth contact surfaces. When pressing the magnets in, make sure the two halves OPPOSE each other. This may seem counterintuitive at first, but once the two halves get close enough, they will attract each other and line up properly due to the unique arrangement of magnets. If you put the magnets in so they attract each other, the two halves will not align properly. Side A uses 8x magnets and Side B uses 3x magnets. The magnets used are these 10mm by 3mm magnets I got from amazon: https://amzn.to/3zbOb45Happy fidgeting!!
