My Social Battery: An Interactive Pin

Have you have felt like your batteries were running low but you can't just tell people to buzz off? I sure have, and I wished I just had a big sign that said “Don't talk to me!!!", but sadly that's not really possible. 

Instead, try a more subtle approach with this pin. It's a simple magnetic design that attaches to your clothes or backpack with five 6x2mm magnets.

The best part is that you don't have to pick a level and go with it- you can actually change it on the fly! Since it's magnetic, all you have to do is pop off the lightning bolt and move it or just slide it over.

Aside from the text, all the colors are printed separately and are assembled with a little bit of glue (although not always necessary depending on your printer's tolerances), so this model can be printed on a single-extruder machine.

This project was inspired by these AWESOME little pins launching on Kickstarter! I'm not affiliated with them, but you should seriously check them out!

I also made a short video if you want to see it in action: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRwy6BQ5/
 

Happy printing!
