Description

Want a fidget toy from outer space? It will land on you desk very soon! Just print, spin and play - and enjoy. And please share your makes, in 1 or more colors :-)

(If you want other toys, and maybe fidget toys in particullar, then follow me for more - and see my super popular Tactile Fidget Rings!)

Overview

The model is print-in-place. But within the slicer you can color it easily (fx. in Bambu Studio). You can also download my pre-painted print profiles and simply hit print!

Does it spin forever (or even close)? No! But does it look cute? Yes! :-)

Assembly

None. Just print and play!

Print instructions

Should be pretty straight forward with default settings. But a couple of notes:

  • Brim: No (to avoid the parts fusing together)
  • Supports: No - the model is designet to print easily without :-)
  • Layer height: To get a smooth curve, you can use adaptive/variable layer height.

 

Happy printing!

ooh so nice - haven’t tried glow-in-the-dark filament yet - but seems like this would be a perfect fit with a space theme 😜 maybe try my model of a Rocket too 🚀 🎉

As someone else mentioned, it doesn't spin like a fidget spinner(maybe not even a full 360 spin with the filament I used) but, I guess it doesn't really claim to be a fidget spinner either, just a fidget toy with a spin motion, so that's understandable. It printed really nice even though my nozzle loves to leave a little bit of oozed plastic on the first layer or two, and looks cute as both a general toy and as a thing that can be fidgeted with a bit. Used MIKA3D silk filament and a 0.4mm nozzle. Hope to try and do an AMS color version with some UFO Kirby style colors one weekend, maybe even paint his eyes on it.

My kid liked it. Had a bit of difficulty getting it moving at first but that's more related to printing it in PETG than the model, once it started moving it was fine.

A bit of a slow print due to the colors, but is worth it 100%
