It can be a little tricky to get the fidget working smoothly at first. In addition to some tips I've suggested in the comments (sanding the surfaces, adding wax or other lubricant to help the parts slide) You might try loosening the lid slightly to relieve some of the pressure from the spring. If the spring is too strong, it really jams the cam. If you find it works better when the lid is loose, you can either add a spacer to permanently raise the lid a bit or check for a weaker spring. I hope that helps!
I absolutely love this idea for a puzzle box! Definitely would fit well into a puzzle game. I could see a game that would potentially be made from this concept too where each level you have to learn each "rule" of the puzzle box in order to get it open.
Absolutely love the panels. I have so far printed 5 and buy with 6. Hopefully my printer doesn't hate me at the end of the month when I have done about 28 panels. Been looking forever for something like this for conventions and you released this wonderful collection in April. I can't thank you enough sir. Now to find little bins I can edit to add to the pannels :D
The simplest (but not ideal) solution I found was sliding the dials apart to disengage the index wheel. A more robust solution would be to attach the index wheel to a pivoting arm that you could swing out of position whenever you wanted the dials to become free spinning.
Oh no! Well, 5x3 should work if you don't mind a rattle sound. Or you can add a drop glue when you set the magnets in place - but don't use much, super glue can bleed through a print and stick it to the print bed.
Of course I'll be printing some (all?) of these. However, I'm on a mission to find as many silent fidget toys as possible. As a conscientious fidgeter, I don't want to annoy people as I fidget during work or meetings.
This fidget is definitely not ideal for silent fidgeting. You could drop the magnets, of course, but then it's just boring. Here are a few of my more quiet fidgets: - Springy Makerchip: 3dprinty.xyz/project/120 - Snowman Fidget: 3dprinty.xyz/project/28 - Lovely Fidget: 3dprinty.xyz/project/30 I hope one of these will work for you :)
Hmm... I wonder how many click per complete rotation this has. If we can get 10 clicks per rotation, the twisty fidget could be repurposed as a clicky counter for my tabletop RPG sessions :)
That's a great idea! The 3x3 magnet version has 12 clicks, so there should be plenty of room to reduce that to 10. If you don't plan to take this on first, I might explore this as a future remix :)
@@3DPrinty Might be a good idea, although my 3d model modifying game is not on point - I mostly use Plasticity to create new models from scratch. I'm willing to work on this, but if you want to make my work a bit easier, I'd appreciate to have the basic dimensions of the item (inner diameter, outer diameter, height and dimension of the magnet holes, etc). If not, I'll just measure them using the Printables models.
I missed the live notification but I'm happy to have found yet another awesome print. Really appreciate you thinking of parts stock. No one needs that many variety of magnets. hehehe🙂Thanks!

The answer will depend on the filament used, the print settings, and the construction of the shelves. But I can say the a simple shelf comprised of 6x6 unit panels printed in PLA+ and assembled into a 2x2 box formation (with a backing panels) supported 16 lbs (more than 7kg) with no sign of breaking. If the shelf had been constructed with bracing panels below the top surface (or with smaller panels) it could easily have held more weight than that.
There are a few ways to tie the TPU, but the easiest method for me is to take both ends of the TPU together side-by-side and tie them into a single simple overhand knot. As long as you do this while adding a lot of tension on the TPU. the knot will get pulled into the slot at the base of the penguin, where it'll become too squished to untie itself. Of course you could make it even more secure by following it up with an underhand knot.
Once in a while someone comes along with a really fresh and challenging puzzle. Your puzzle is simple to build and challenging to solve. In other words, "perfect". Thanks for the contribution and many thanks for making it free to build. My grandkids will love it. The only suggestion I might have is a secret compartment for skittles. ;)
Thank you, this is great. I printed all the parts to make one for my son in the fire academy. But I can't get parts to fit. The tolerances are too tight. Any suggestions?
I'm sorry to hear there's a sizing issue. The fix will depend on where the parts are too tight and which parts are a problem. Are you parts bowing out a little where they touch the print bed (AKA "elephants foot"), or are they too large all the way around? My email address is listed under the channel's "About" page if you want to send in some photos demonstrating the issue. Or you can send a message to me on Printables, which also allows photos within messages.
An alarm count indicates what response (equipment/personnel) is needed for a particular fire. The exact meaning and range of the scale changes from one jurisdiction to another. But, generally speaking, more alarms means a larger or more complicated fire. I named this puzzle "6-Alarm" as a little hint for the puzzle solution.
Sorry this might be an obvious question, but what's the trend with maker chips? Is it just something people do for when they go to conventions so they have a fancy version of a business card?
It's just a new take on the maker coin, but it uses less filament and comes in a standard size for easier collecting/sharing at events. I turned mine into a springy fidget (you can see the spring on the back side of the chip) because I'll use any excuse to add moving parts to a model.
The print I'm assembling is in Duramic PLA (I THINK it's pronounced like "ceramic"). So far, I've used their marble and red filaments and I've been happy with both.
would be nice to cut the same shape of the bonus puzzle into the other side, so it would match when looking into it. Just to make it harder to guess something is there 😆
Is there a way you can tell me the solution for the difficult one? Because I just wanted to put something in there as a present but doesn’t want to solve it myself 😂
This remix of the puzzle by Pierre includes the solution for both the easy and difficult puzzles: www.printables.com/model/348734 The difficult version STILL takes me a lot of effort to solve - I just never memorized it.
You're not missing it, the files will be released next week. I needed a little more time to really perfect things and finalize an assembly video. Sorry for the wait!
Absolutely love your 3d print models. Some of the coolest things I've printed. I also realized that your video and voiceover reminds me a lot of The Lockpicking Lawyer. It's perfect!
