SpinSqueeze Redux - Fidget Toy

My take on Stele's Spin'n'Squeeze Fidget Toy concept, both remixed from NAM_3's Fidget Squeezer.

Now with print-in-place spinner handles and assisted alignment while squeezed, resulting in more comfortable grip, less friction and a lot more spin!

Sides and hubs are split into separate parts, resulting in a bit more assembly, but easier replacement if a part fails or breaks.

Prepared for multicolor printing using MMU/AMS/INDX/etc. The hub handles can also be made a separate color using a simple manual filament change at the first layer above 5.8 mm.

Recommended Print Settings

If your slicer asks you whether to load a file as a "single object having multiple parts" or similar, select YES!

• Layer height: 0.15 mm or lower (0.20 mm might work, but the sloped faces will be uglier)

• Seam position: Random for at least the Hubs and Distance pins. Sides look better with Aligned.

• Infill: 15%, Gyroid (but using 90%, Rectilinear for the sides can cause improved spin)

• Supports: Not necessarily needed, but the Hubs may benefit from supports on build plate only for some filaments.

• Material: I've only tried PETG, but basically anything should work.

Assembly

1. Print one of the complete project files (or 5x Sides, 2x Hub, 1x Distance Pin M and 1x Distance Pin F).

2. Wiggle the spinning axles free in the hubs (water and/or lubrication may help to improve spin).

3. Snap each of the Distance pins into the center holes in the bottom of the hubs (flat side into the hub), use glue if they don't stay in place on their own.

4. Snap the five sides into the hubs.

5. Wrap a rubber band or other elastic around the body.

6. Done!
