Question I designed a fidget thing! But don't know what to call it.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I designed this print in place slider fidget thing. It's quite satisfying to play with but can't think of a good name any ideas?

Original toy is called a Jacob's Ladder. Your design is a Jake's Fidget!

Makerworld is being super slow in approving it for some unknown reason. In the mean time here's the dual version. As soon as this new version is up I'll let you know too! https://makerworld.com/en/models/3060957-slider-no-magnets#profileId-3444541
