I printed @Orange's Silent Fidget and liked the concept, but it gave me some ideas for improvements. Enter Silent Fidget Redux, my take on the Silent Fidget.
- More curvy, which fidgety fingers tend to appreciate.
- A (silent) slide switch instead of one of the flip switches.
- Added some iconography to fill the blank sides, can be either tactile or multicolor.
- Thumb spinner cap face more suitable for single thumb/finger spinning.
- Improved printability. Using chamfers instead of fillets towards print surface, and extra chamfers where any "elephant foot" may cause issues.
- Improved tolerances. Less chance of squeaky switches, and easier to pick apart.
Of course, all the features of the original version are still included:
- Silent Switches (one less flip switch, though)
- Side Wheel
- Fidget Spinner & Thumb Wheel
Print as placed in the model files, no supports are needed. Print as placed in the model files, no supports are needed. Two project files are available, One prepared for multi-color printing (MMU, AMS, etc.) and one for single-color printing. Individual part STLs are also available.
In addition to the printed parts, two 608 type bearings are needed. In a pinch, these printed bearings work, but real bearings are (in most cases) more silent.
For assembly instructions, see the original model. The only difference should be the slide switch, but that should be fairly self-explanatory.
