Select the “Customize” button on the page (not supported on Bambu Handy App yet)
Basic Fidget
Enter the number of rings you want
Select the shape (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon ,octagon)
Select the “looseness” - changes the amount of movement between rings
Select the colour you desire
⚠️ Remember to hit “Generate” after each step to update the model
Text
Text is added to each side of the fidget.
Text will wrap to fill all sides
If you want a side to be blank then enter a blank (space)
You can select the font in the userFont selector
Select the colour for the text
⚠️ Remember to hit “Generate” after each step to update the model
Logo (Image)
I recommend using Inkscape for creating and editing svgs - an awesome piece of software!
Logo Select the logo arrangement -
“duplicate” ( top logo placed top and bottom),
“through” (top logo is pushed through to the bottom )
“dual” (top and bottom logos are different)
Mode - choose the editing mode
Make Fidget - makes the final fidget
Position Top Logo - allows positioning and scaling of top logo (not for printing)
Position Bottom Logo - allows positioning and scaling of bottom logo (not for printing)
Logo Details
⚠️ Top logo is used for “duplicate” and “through” modes
Upload your SVG file ⚠️ Layer Names need to match - see later section
Enter the X and Y values of the centre of the logo
Adjust the Logo Scale so that it is rendered in red fidget outline
You can then use the logo offset controls to nudge the logo into place if required
Adjust the logo orientation as required.
⚠️ Remember to hit “Generate” after each step to update the model
Layer Names and Colours
Enter the Layer Name for each layer in the SVG file
Enter the desired colour for each layer. ⚠️Set to “Not Used” if the layer is not used
Generate Fidget
Go to the “Logo” section and select “Make Fidget”.
Select the “Download” button below the rendered fidget and download the 3MF
Open 3MF in Bambu Studio and print!
Notes:
Image Layers and Colours
The generator uses the Openscad SVG import functionality to import the SVG image. Each colour in the image needs to be a separate Layer in the SVG file. Make sure you use the Layer element not the Group element!
Inkscape Layer
While most SVG file features are supported, I have found the following method to be most reliable.
Use filled path elements for each layer. If your SVG has stroke elements , convert these to path elements using inkscape.
I find combining all the path elements into a single path elements on each layer works the best (inkscape path/combine)
Layers are drawn in the Fidget Maker from top to bottom in the list in the UI ("first layer" is drawn first, other layers on top of this). ⚠️This is the reverse order that they appear in inkscape.
Use pixels (px) for the scale in inkscape - 1 pixel will be 1 mm in the Fidget Maker
If you do not have an SVG for your image then there are a lot of converters that can be used. I find picsvg works well. You can also use Inkscape to convert the image.
Note If your svg has only one colour then you do not need to put it in a Layer!
Advanced
For the adventurous, there are some advanced settings you can try:
Inner dia - changes the size of the inner ring of the fidget. Dont make this too small or you may get plate adhesion issues.
Ring thickness - the changes the thickness (width) of the individual rings
Height - the height of the fidget. Larger values will produce a fidget with more axial movement.
Debug
For the very adventurous, there are some debug settings:
debug section - creates a section view of the fidget (not for printing)
resolution - changes the resolution of the graphics
delta - used for ensuring image layers are separated correctly
wrapper thickness - thickness of the rounded wrapper around the fidget
l,n,t R - values for the radial looseness factors
l,n,t A - values for the axial looseness factors
Note:
Radial looseness is the fraction of rotation allowed from none to free for each ring
Axial looseness is the fraction of overlap for each ring in the axial direction.
