Gravity Gag Fidget Lite (Print in place)

Picture this: your friend catches a glimpse of you reaching for your knife. Concern flashes across his face. Then, with a swift motion, you reveal—bam!—a harmless peace symbol. (Both A and B styles have the same piece symbol hand. It's just the outer grip that looks different) If you would like more options. please check out the pro version which also comes with a commercial license and no YouTube link on it. 

This 3D-printed gravity fidget is designed to be easy to print and should work right off the build plate. However, it may take a little bit of use before it runs fully smooth. It is highly recommended to use a brim, and the heavier it is, the more satisfying it is to use. So, I would recommend three perimeters and 15–20% infill and 1.5mm layer height

Hand orientation

The orientation of the hand depends on whether you're holding it in your left or right hand and whether you want it facing yourself or someone else. If you need to flip it, it's a simple process.

To mirror the hand, just go into your slicer and set it to mirror in the Y direction. Right-click the model and scroll through the menu until you find the mirror option. This method works in PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio, and Creality Print.

If you're using Cura, there's a mirror function in the left sidebar. Simply click the arrow corresponding to the Y axis, and you're all set!

3D printing settings

Prints in place without supports on an FDM Printer and should work with any material. I've tested pla and petg. A brim is recommended. Also, if using a bed slinger, it's recommended to slow it down so it doesn't come detached. It is designed to work well with a 0.4 mm nozzle, and it should be fairly easy to print, as long as you have good bed adhesion and enough cooling, insuring that your printer can easily do a forty-five degree overhang.

Additionally, the heavier it is, the more momentum it has and the more premium it feels. So it's nice to add a thicker infill or more perimeters, especially to the blade (So far, my favorite one is three perimeters, 20% infill in PETG at a 1.5 mm layer height). But it's not a huge deal. They all feel pretty good.

Because this is print in place, if you want the blade to be a different color, you need to either use a multicolor printer or. more likely paint it afterward. It can be very easy to use a paint marker or tape off the handle and hit it with a can of spray paint
