Slide & Click Fidget | Print-in-Place | 3 Styles

Slide. Click. Repeat.

 

A print-in-place slider fidget that comes off the bed ready to go. No assembly, no hardware — slide the inner bar side to side and feel it click at each end. Smooth travel, satisfying stop. Surprisingly hard to put down.

Took around 30 iterations to dial in the internal channels and the sphere-top pins so it prints clean and slides smooth without any post-processing and without any harsh impact at each end. After printing you might need to give the inner bar one firm push to break it free the first time — then it just works.

3 shapes included: square, rounded square, and cylinder. Same mechanism, pick whatever feels best in hand.

 

Print notes:

• Under 1 hour per piece, under 10g of filament — basically free to print
• The only support is an outer brim, there for bed adhesion and to keep this tall vertical print stable. No internal supports needed.
• Printed on both a bed slinger and a Core XY — both handle it fine
• Tested across three filaments, all worked great: Bambu PLA Basic (black), PLA Silk (silver), and Scarlet Red Matte (red)

Slide it during a call, on a break, whenever. It's a little anti-stress toy for your desk or pocket.
