About this print
A hand-held toy consisting of rings arranged to rotate freely, used as a fidget device to occupy the hands in everyday situations. It is suited to adults and older children who find repetitive tactile movement helpful for focus or idle distraction. The design relies on close tolerances between rotating parts. PLA is a sensible material choice as the toy does not need to bear significant loads, and it prints with the accuracy needed for smooth, unobstructed rotation.

Original maker's notes

This is a pretty nice rotating rings toy which is perfect to use as a fidget toy in almost every situation. :)
If you are not able to get the rings rotating freely, you can use the "looser-tolerances" version.
If needed I can upload outer rings for replacement purposes.
If you want to change the tolerances yourself:
By using PrusaSlicer and going to print settings → advanced you can select the xy-compensation. By typing in a positive value, the gap between the rings will get smaller, by typing in a negative value, the gap will become bigger.
Keep in mind that even small inputs change a lot - the original version has gaps of 0.35mm inbetween the rings, so if you type in 0.05 as the xy-offset, your gap will be reduced to just 0.25.
Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.
Printing Rotating Rings Toy
For Rotating Rings Toy we would normally reach for PLA — it is easy to print, low-odour and plenty strong for everyday use. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
