The Twitch Block

thingiverse

We stumbled upon the Fidget Cube Kickstarter a week ago and instantly fell head over heels for it. Like every office, we have a couple of "fidgeters" who can't keep their hands still during meetings. Most of us look for a small 3D print to discreetly play with during conferences, so the Fidget Cube was an instant solution. We're a bit impatient though and couldn't wait until December, so we got creative. With multiple 3D printers at our disposal, it made perfect sense to design our own Fidget Cube. Besides, what's the point of having 3D printers if you can't whip up small plastic toys on a whim? Want to dive deeper into The Twitch Block?

We used PLA for the hard components, and MatterHackers TPU filament for the soft buttons. Print the Hard Buttons, Rings, and Cam plate first. We printed with 0.25mm layers, and 20% infill on all PLA parts. To install the magnet rings in the Main Body, you will need to pause the print at the right time. This is easy to do in MatterControl. We printed the Main Body with 0.25mm layers. With 0.25mm layers, we need to pause the print after layer 70 to place the magnet rings in the main body.
