Overview:
The Magnetic Fidget Sticks are palm-sized fidget toys designed to provide tactile fidgeting through smooth sliding movements. Its compact shape, about the size of a person's palm, offers a comfortable grip, while the embedded magnets allow for satisfying push-pull interactions.
Be sure to print each fidget stick with the embedded magnets being in the opposite polarity orientation than the other one.
Features:
- Ergonomic Shape: The fidget slider features a sleek design with rounded edges and a grooved dome top for a better grip. It sits comfortably in the hand, allowing for easy sliding motions.
- Embedded Magnets: Each stick contains 3 magnet pockets to hold either a single 10x2mm magnet or two stacked 10x1mm magnets, giving the user flexibility based on magnet availability. There is also a version for 10x3mm magnets available.
