Star Trek Fidget Toys

The official fidget toys of Star Fleet! (OK, I made that up.  But if Star Fleet allowed fidgeting, this is what they would want you to use.  Maybe if Captain Kirk had a couple of these handy, he wouldn't have pounded the arms of his command chair so often.)

There are two basic toys, a spinner and a slider/clicker.  Both come in the logos for command, operations, sciences, and medical.  The spinners have holes in the middles for a 608zz skate-bearing (which is what actually spins) and a bearing cover you can cover the skate bearing with if you so desire.  I think it's easier to spin with the cover on, but YMMV.

The spinners each come in a "-full" and "-half" versions.  I print the "-half" versions and glue them together.  That way the tops are both printed as "tops" rather than one side being printed on the bottom and the other printer on the top.  I also swap colors to get the logo black (or red for medical) and the top in the proper color for that logo.

Each slider/clickers requires six 10x2mm magnets to make the slider "click" into place.  Put two magnets  into each of the holes in the "Slider Base Top" and then glue the "Slider Base Bottom" to it.  If you want the slider to "click" back and forth, then align all the magnets the same direction.  If you want the slider to be repelled and "click" back to where it came from, align one set of magnets opposite from the other set.

Then put two magnets into the "Slider Button Bottom".   Make sure you align the magnets properly so they are attracted to the magnets in the Base.  (If you mess up, just flip the base upside down - I won't tell.)  Glue the "Slider Button Top" piece to the the Slider Button Base.  If you don't care about the logos, you can use the "Slider Button Top-full" piece.  But if you want the logos (like in the photos) then glue the appropriate "Slider Button Logo" piece to the "Slider Button Top-half".  Like the spinners, I swap the filament color to get the logo in black (or red for medical) and then the top of the button in the appropriate color for that logo.

Once everything is dry, put the Button on the Base and slide the "Slider Shell" over it.  It will press fit into place.  You can glue it down as well, but you don't need to - it will stay.

Happy Fidgeting!

If you would like any of these without printing them yourself, I'll sell them to you here:
