SnapIt, PopIt, Fidget toy

If you enjoy tactile fidgets, like the popular Pop-Its, you might also enjoy this 3D Printed version. This will print in place, and then will pop and click both directions. In order to get the best performance out of the toy, please read the section below. PLEASE READ: In order for this popper toy to function, it requires some extra precision printing, and MAY require some simple post-print actions. Please review: - You will be very lucky if all buttons on your popper function exactly the same. Some will be easy to move and not click much, most will hopefully be perfect, and some will require some extra force to move. - You will have a hard time if your bed is not level or your printer is not calibrated well. Please insure this is the case before attempting to print. - You should first try printing without any scaling. Because of the precision of this model, scaling could cause it to not work properly. When and if you do scaling, I recommend only scaling the Z-Axis (to make it taller or shorter), but feel free to experiment. - When you remove the print from the bed, you will probably find that some of the buttons move easily, while others seem stuck. I recommend turning it over, setting on a hard surface, and using the handle of a butter knife, or a large flat bolt to strike each button firmly. Flip it back over and do the same the other direction. Repeat until each button can be popped back and forth on a hard surface with your thumb or finger. - I highly recommend using the default settings for z-seam and 40% infill. This has only been printed, so far, at .20 layer height. Concentric printing for top and bottom layers will make it look nicer, in my opinion.
