This is a fidget that you can put on your key chain to add some personality, or keep as a standalone toy. It can be easily customized through your choice of the different provided STLs, or even further by using the provided blend file. Video demo (with sound) can be found [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fx_T-WVUWYg).

You can assemble this model on it's own, and it's decently satisfying to play with like that, I think. But, in order to get the most out of it, the model requires some glue (preferably a thick, gap filling kind, like epoxy or gorilla glue). It also requires some small magnets. I used 5x3mm magnets, but I have provided files for 3x2 and 6x3 sizes as well, and more can be easily added using the provided blend file. (also, feel free to let me know if you'd like me to add files for another size!).

It might be possible to make these parts work with a friction-fit, but it worries me to have two attracting magnets permanently suspended half a millimeter away from each other, without something holding them in place firmly, so I decided to just use glue in hopes the fidgets can last a long time.

This model was inspired partially by [this](https://www.printables.com/model/234935-manual-gear-shift-fidget) model by Michal Fanta, (though it does not reuse any part of that model). Go check that model out if you'd prefer something that does not use glue or magnets.

The motion of the stick is very smooth, and it snaps quickly into…
