Round Snappy Fidget Button

<p>I printed the tall version of the <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/137125-snappy-fidget-button">Snappy Fidget Button</a> by <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/106529-3d-printy/about">3D Printy</a> and liked it. After using it a bit, I thought a round version might feel better in my hand. Turns out it does, so I figured I'd share it for others.</p><p>This print includes just the frame and caps for the round version, please refer to the <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/137125-snappy-fidget-button/files">original print files</a> for the tall spring part with the desired resistance.</p><p>All credit really goes to 3D Printy for the fun fidget toy, :) I've included the Fusion360 file and a STEP file, should you want to adjust anything such as the diameters or chamfers.</p><h3>Print Details</h3><p>I don't think this model is sensitive to layer height or nozzle size at all, but for reference I am using a 0.6mm nozzle and did variable layer height because why not.</p><p>I printed the caps with the tops up (as 3D Printy recommended) and used a Hilbert Curve top fill pattern:</p><figure class="image image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/147185/rich_content/23d84f21-f2fb-4c1a-8036-439662c409aa/image.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%226e0b2d4f-24bb-45c4-bbd1-de722ade8f6d%22%2C%22w%22%3A383%2C%22h%22%3A61%7D"></figure><p>For both the frame and the caps I used fuzzy skin for fun:</p><figure class="image image-style-align-center image_resized" style="width:50%;"><img src="https://media.prusaprinters.org/media/prints/147185/rich_content/3d0e30ff-0e3a-4c84-a207-7781a2b86765/image.png#%7B%22uuid%22%3A%2294b743b5-74eb-497b-9c28-7dc47dbcb5ea%22%2C%22w%22%3A383%2C%22h%22%3A109%7D"></figure><p>&nbsp;</p><pre><code class="language-plaintext">The source, Snappy Fidget Button, is used under the CC BY 4.0 license.</code></pre>
