A simple fidget ball using MX style switches and keycaps to make a satisfying clicky little toy. This is directly inspired by a photo of a similar fidget ball sent to me by my wife sold by Strudel3D. I take no credit for the idea, but the design is my own, and is quite simple.
Ball can be printed in two ideal positions.
- Vertical with supports - Gives the best surface finish, with some minor issues around the bottom facing socket, but lots of support removal required.
- Rotated 45 degrees - Minimal supports needed, but does deface one of the balls surfaces.
I have include both, along with a variant with a slightly bigger opening for keycaps, so you may choose what fits your preference best.
MX Switches clip into the sockets on each face, and the keycaps then attach on top. Akko Jelly Blues and a reproduction Botanical keycap set shown.
Edit - 8/21/2024 - Added .3mf of best orientation for minimal supports. When printing this orientation I recommend
- Supports Enabled
- Support Critical Area Only
- Enable Outer Brim - 25mm
Allows it to print on its edge, within minimal support cleanup, and best surface finish overall as seen in Pink/Orange print.
