Intro
This magical device transfers your feelings of stress and annoyment to other people in the room*, calming your nerves and helping to find focus.
*Warning! Other people might return the annoyment and stress to you if this device is used excessively
To fine tune the effect on the user and others nearby this device comes with adjustable settings
00 - No click, free spin (if ceramic bearing would be used the spin will be as free as the bearing itself is, with regular metal bearings the magnetic fields inside the device will stop the spin gradually.
01* - 2 loud clicks per 1 detent, "dampening" detents
10* - 1 soft click per detent, “springy” softer detents (Depending on the print the setting may not want to stay engaged for long)
11 - 2 loud clicks per 1 detent, strong detents
*Setting 01 and 10 might get flipped depending on how you assemble the parts.

Printing
I recommend using the 3mf files that start with the word “Settings….” as these already include correct orientation and pauses on right heights.
Button needs magnets inserted in the middle of the print, insert magnets all in the same orientation (does not matter whether S or N pole is up). I just hold a stack of magnets and push the magnets in one by one from the same end of the stack to keep track of the orientation.
Switches need magnets inserted in the middle of the print but those magnets need to go in in flipped orientation (at least for the effect I have shown). I use the same technique of having all the magnets in the stack but I flip the stack between inserts so if one magnet is N pole up the other one will have S pole up.
Bases do not need anything special except for some paint on supports for the inner base
Assembly
 | Setup everything you will need (all the magnets should be inside your printed parts |
 | Check that the switches attract to each other as in the image and remember the end that has the magnet for next step |
 | Place the switches in the Inner Base so that the magnets will be closest to the exterior edge |
 | But the base on the bottom of the inner base as shown on the image |
 | Keeping things together add the bearing |
 | Add the Bearing retainer and the nut |
 | Screw everything together with the screw from the bottom. |
 | Bush the button over the bearing and you are done. Happy clicking! ( Even if the fit is a bit loose the magnets will keep the button on) |
