Try out my latest design found on cults: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/magnetic-fidget-shifter-v2 use code “FOUNDONPRINTABLES” for 50% off at checkout.
Everything should print in under an hour. All prints should be oriented in their optimal printing position. The shifter needs supports inside for a 5mm overhang and a couple walls that need to print in thin air (x/y position on supports .5-.6 recommended)
There are two options for magnets, a 5mm by 2mm option and a 4mm by 2mm option, the 4mm is much easier to print, the 5mm option should only be attempted if your settings are extremely dialed in. You will need 24 magnets, 22 go into the Shifter Bottom and two go into the Shifter itself.
Each magnet slot holds 2 magnets. Make sure all the magnets are facing the correct direction. For placing the magnets, I suggest that you do one row at a time and slide the Bottom Cover along the magnets as you place them, there should ne no superglue required for this part (if you do put super glue you won't get the satisfying click as the shifter passes over the magnets)
After the magnets are installed place some super glue over the Bottom Cover and place that over the bottom covering the magnets.
Place 2 magnets inside the shifter with a dab of super glue (super glue optional here)
Place the shifter in between the grooves on the Shifter Top.
Finally, place the shifter top and shifter on top of the already glued together bottom and bottom cover with a little bit of super glue.
That's it, your fidget shifter is now complete.
Happy shifting!

made the shifter cavity more shallow to make magnets sit flush. Added an option for a 4mm magnet VS a 5mm magnet. I've also added a bottom portion with a Honda logo. Added a Samurai Sword Shifter. Added a Batman Shifter. More car logos to come! If there is a brand you'd like to see, please give me suggestions.
