The file 'MX-Fidger 3D Printer Model' is (stl) file type, size is 8.12 KB.
I got my first 3D printer and I'm in the learning and experimenting phase.
It is a really simple design of a fidget toy featuring Cherry MX key switches.
I'll upload some more pictures after I got one of those MX sample switches set to add more tactile variation to it.
I'm also using this design to test different support structures because it actually a bit tricky and requires a lot of fiddling to remove all the support material from this fidger.
Update
I now printed it with 45 degrees of rotation on the X axis, which makes this stand up.
The result is way better than my first tries even though I have two edges which aren't perfect. Also the support material is easier to remove than the flat version
The picture represents 0.15mm layer width which is more than enough and it looks good.
I made some test prints with 0.35 mm layer for testing the MX mounting hole which worked quite well so I guess 0.15 mm , 0.2 mm is the desired layer setting.
The mounting hole for the key switch can be done tighter and less feature rich but with this design it fits and is easy to remove again. I added a picture with five keys assembled, it's still hard to see all detail but might help
There is no need to cut anything from the switches ( like support structure or pins ) but you have to keep attention about the orientation when plugging your key switches in.
The key caps are bought and were user from left overs. I might add some simple designed caps later.
Enjoy
