Ratcheting Gear Fidget Toy

A simple and easy to print fidget toy that makes ratcheting sound when turning the gears. 

I am intrigued by the ratcheting wrenches that we use and the compliance mechanism nature of the pla material. 

Have gone through many iterations to make this easy to print and assemble. 

 

Created two versions of the fidget toy.

  • Baseplate that snap in pressure fit  - no hardware needed
  • Baseplates with holes that use 3 M3x16 screws and nuts

 

Pressure fit version - No hardware needed: 

  • BasePlate - Type A - Pressurefit.stl: Print Two
  • Gear.stl: Print One 
  • Ratched.stl: Print One 
  • Assembly: Snap together in place. Its that easy!!! 

 

 

M3 holes version - Needs 3x m3x16 screws and nuts: 

  • BasePlate - Type B - M3Holes.stl: Print Two
  • Gear.stl: Print One 
  • Ratchet.stl: Print One 
  • Assembly: Use m3x16 screws to fix them together. !!! Do not over tight the screw holding the gear !!!
