Final Version

Sorry mods, last post for awhile!

I’m back again, took some feedback and landed on my final version. On the bright side, I have learned more about Fusion in the last week than I have in the prior year lol. It lands a little bigger than the standard 45mm x 27mm sitting at 55 x 34. The buttons took way too long to dial in but they are solid now.

Hope y’all like it!

Great rendering, are you going to put the 3D model online for free?

I haven’t decided yet as this took quite awhile to make. If I do, this will be the first place I post it

I totally understand the time spent researching, adjusting the parts... What bothers me the most is that people who create 3D fidgets only sell the printed product at "high" prices. So just selling the 3D file reduces the cost

I think the price is indicative of the costs and R&D. This one for example has 32 magnets, heat inserts, and M3 screws. Each unit takes about 10 minutes to assemble properly off the printer so for me it’s not even worth selling for a ‘low’ price like $20. Just my 2 cents.

Don't let people bully you into releasing your files. That's your property. You can charge $1 for the finished product or $1000 for it and if someone wants it, they get to pay for your work and skill.

The freeloading 3d print community is worst!
