Small Square Fidget – Print in Place (10 Rings)

Small Square Fidget – Print-in-Place (10 Rings)

A compact square fidget that expands into a small pyramid when you pull the centre handle.

All parts print in place and move freely once the print is finished. No supports or assembly required.

The mechanism uses 10 nested square rings that telescope upward to form a stepped pyramid, then collapse back down when released.

This version is designed to be quick and lightweight to print, making it a great small desk toy or quick test print.

Because the model is lightweight, the rings have a small amount of flexibility. Occasionally a ring may pop out if pulled too far, but thanks to the flexible design it can easily be pressed back into place in seconds.

First Use

After printing, gently pull up the centre handle to separate the rings.
They should move freely once released.
