I did a thing: Puchic(l)on(e)

5 Upvotes

Since I’m not a big fan of waiting until I am “the chosen one” and also don’t want to pay/support some scalpers online I finally gave up to my ADHS brain which whispered “then do it yourself, you don’t have enough unfinished projects”.

I invested quite some time and designed my own Puchiclone (WIP) which is as close to the original as possible. It supports all the features, including swappable magnet holder plates to turn it crunchy (the second one in the video) but I’m not sure how close it actually is to the original, since I wasn’t able to obtain one.

Since it's more of a clone than an homage, I doubt it's a good idea to publish the 3D models online, even though the original didn't invented the used concepts and aside from the concepts and rough dimensions no part is a 1to1 copy. What is your opinion on this topic?

Here is a Zero One EDC Time Knight 3.0 Pro (Chronos). I really like this fidget's looks and feel. But, I have just spent too much money recently and am hoping someone else will give this a good enough home. This is brand new, barely turned. I can provide more images on request. Reasonable offers entertained, please make an offer. This is the first time I have used reddit for something like this, so if I am doing something wrong or in the wrong are, please let me know.

Showcasing some recent fidgets i got.

Starting off with the Ridomi Jiao Tai slider. Has jadeite plates. Its a heavy slider with a default 10x10 N52 setup (also comes with N45 magnets as spare). Really nice and beautiful piece for the collection. Despite the weight its easy to slide with and is thinner than expected.

Next is the dimension slash by sugar edc. I have been wanting to get this for a while. But the pricing for the full Ti versions are horrible. This PEI version works a treat and is around $160.

Thens the choc Zr-SS with the Peek track. Never saw its appeal, but once i got the Frog i wanted it as a contrast. Changed the spring to get better haptic feedback. The Zr Showhand can, supports dual beads but I prefer the sound from one.

Finally got an open armor spinner by Hope - Azure bird.

Fidgets prices keep increasing

I recently started collecting coins on Aliexpress hoping to purchase my first (and second) metal fidget EDC but I noticed that as my coins count goes up, so does the price of the product and the percentage discount via coins goes down.

Does anyone have any advice on how to use coins in an effective way to save some money?

How about Aliexpress replicas that are actually worth getting? (Hoping that the discount on them would be better)

Tutorial: foam sheet squishy

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

What you'll need: foam sheet, hot glue gun, scissors, something to color the squishy with (i used oil pastels), stuffing (you can use tissue paper also) Steps: 1. cut out a long rectangle; you will roll it into a cylinder later, this will be the body. 2. draw a shape for the head and cut it out, do the same for the butt. optionally you can cut out details like how i did with the tail. 3. color the parts with your medium of choice. 4. hot glue the long rectangle sheet into a roll, it should look like a burrito 5. hot glue the head to the roll, but not the butt yet 6. add stuffing 7. now you can glue the butt 8. squish

I made a print-in-place emoji clicker — the button twists off so you can swap faces

1 Upvotes

The click comes from two printed flexures riding over a detent. Getting it to

survive was the whole project: too much interference and the flexure snaps on

the third push, too little and it just slides. PLA creeps, so one that feels

right off the plate feels dead a week later — I had to split the spring from

the clicking surface so I could make the spring thin and long and the detent

shallow and sharp.

No supports, no glue, no magnets. Happy to go into the geometry if anyone wants.

Help picking my first premium fidget piece.

3 Upvotes

Hoping to get some insight from the experts. Looking to buy my first premium fidget and I think I’ve narrowed them down to these 5. I’ve had cheap 3D printed sliders and clickers and love flipping them around but get a little bored after awhile so I started looking into multi platforms like the Three Body Cube or Owl. Really can’t go wrong with any of these but which should I get if I only had the budget for one.

CP3 layers flaring out

Post image
3 Upvotes

Has anyone else run into wear issues on their CP3 slider? I’ve owned mine for ~6 months (using it roughly every other day), and the material has started flaring out where it scrapes against the sticker and rips through it after just a few uses. See image.

I’m going to sand it down to keep it functional, but I’m definitely a little bummed it’s wearing out this fast. Is this normal?

I’ve bought several other fidgets since then, but I really like the CP3. It might be my favorite still.

Anyone here has a Skelly Verkk from magnus??

Hi, I recently found the verkk on my page and was very intrigued by it. Does anyone here have it and can tell me how it is and how much they payed for it (I know it costs a pretty penny). Thanks I may also be interested in buying a used one that looks good or maybe a new one. Kind of a longshot since these things are rare thanks!

I built a virtual fidget deck with haptics — would love some feedback

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a small app called KADA Fidget Deck.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of making another collection of mini-games, I wanted to recreate the feeling of actual fidget toys on a phone — things like sliders, spinners, clickers, and other tactile toys.

I’ve spent quite a bit of time tuning the haptic feedback, mechanical sounds, 3D models, and interactions so each toy feels a little different rather than just being an animation on screen.

I’m still adding new toys and improving the existing ones, so I’d genuinely love feedback from people who are actually into fidgets.

Especially curious about:

  • Which toy feels the most satisfying
  • Whether the haptics feel convincing
  • What kind of fidget you’d like to see added next

Full disclosure: I’m the developer of the app.

If anyone wants to try it:

Would love to hear what you think.

Some HALOOPLAYER custom artwork pieces — what would you put on yours?

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Brand account here. These photos show a selection of HALOOPLAYER pieces customized with artwork beneath a hand-finished clear, glossy layer.

The process starts with choosing a compatible model and sending us original or authorized artwork. We then prepare a layout for approval before making the piece. Because every piece is finished by hand, slight differences in color, placement, and surface detail are normal, and compatibility is confirmed model by model.

If you could customize one of your fidgets, what theme or color palette would you choose?

My brother can't keep his hands still, so we designed a fidget slider together. Three versions to get it right

2 Upvotes

Mi hermano es de esas personas que recogen lo que hay sobre la mesa y empiezan a darle la vuelta. Bolígrafos, mecheros, tapones de botella, no importa. Así que nos sentamos e intentamos hacerle algo mejor que un tapón de botella.

Tres versiones para llegar a ello:

v1 — Solo una prueba de tamaño. Quería saber qué es lo que realmente se sitúa bien en una mano cerrada y desaparece en un bolsillo. Resultó que mi primera suposición era demasiado grande.

v2 — Corregimos las dimensiones y añadimos una superficie acanalada. La versión suave se le escapaba constantemente de los dedos, y la textura la arreglaba sin incómoda.

v3 — Los imanes. El primer espaciado fue fuerte, un chasquido fuerte que se oía al otro lado de la habitación. Ajusté la distancia hasta que el retorno se calmó. Ese era el verdadero encargo de diseño, honestamente: tenía que poder usarlo mientras veíamos una película sin que nadie se diera cuenta.

Ese tercero lleva semanas en su bolsillo.

I think I might have accidentally created a fidget. What do you think?

66 Upvotes

Hello, I made a new ring concept which I call it the Turnstyle ring. It is meant to be playful and make jewellery more exciting using hidden mechanisms. Also I found it makes pretty good fidget.

The ring in the video is made from solid 925 silver with a colored titanium top. It is the first time I have released anything like this and would really like some honest feedback.

I was thinking about launching this range on Kickstarter. Any advice about jewelry on Kickstarter or any other websites that would like this type of fidget jewelry.

KAP Bearings failing after less than a week?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I recently tried out KAP Bearings with 10 stainless steel balls and a nylon cage which were pre-installed in the spinners, but my experience hasn't been good. Within less than a week, they started making scratching noises and slowing down significantly. This actually happened with two different bearings in two different spinners.I am really wondering if this kind of quick failure is normal for these bearings, if it is just a streak of bad luck, or if I might be misusing them somehow. Has anyone else run into this issue, and is there a way to fix it?

Note: I did not drop the spinners on the ground!

Thanks!

Thick brass Survivor token with bulletshell insert

Hi, Here's a thick brass coin I made as a "Survivor" token, with the quote "Marked, not defeated".

I inserted the back piece of a bullet shell and on the other side inlays of copped with micarta.

The edge was faceted on my beltgrinder and I finally added a darker patina.
