Description
A scaled-down, pocket-friendly version of the fidget bottle. It still features the spin, slide, click, twist, and shake interactions, but now fits easily in the palm of a hand.
Build details
- Scaled to 70% of original size.
- Expect tighter tolerances on the snap fits and sliders.
- Print slowly to ensure the scaled-down clearances don't fuse.

Console Sequential Shifter
A print-in-place sequential shifter toy wrapped in a chunky closed-box console. The internal mechanics rely on built-in compliant flexures: leaf springs in the side walls create the tactile shift detents, while zigzag end-springs automatically snap the stick back to center after each throw. Modification Hooks Console Shell: Currently 46x96mm and 26mm tall. It's built wide enough to house the 1.2mm wall flexures. Lever Travel: The top slot is 12x60mm, allowing the 10mm shifter shaft to travel far enough to clear the internal resistance bumps before the springs pull it back. Stick Profile: Swapping the 18mm spherical knob out for a cylindrical handle or a stylized top is a quick replacement in the code.
Print-In-Place Mini Briefcase SM GNEW
A pocket-sized briefcase designed to print as a single assembled piece. It lays completely flat on the print bed with a 0.4mm clearance built into the continuous hinge. Once it's off the bed, the two halves fold together and the split handle meets perfectly in the middle, secured by tiny friction-fit latches embedded in the side walls. Remixing the Design This is a blank canvas for organizing whatever tiny parts you deal with daily. The base setup is 90x60mm, but you can safely scale or gut it: The interior: I put a single 2mm divider inside the base half to mimic a document pouch, but you can swap that for an SD-card grid, a custom tool insert, or just leave it bare. The exterior: The luggage ribs are purely subtractive cuts on the outer shell. They can easily be swapped for debossed logos or different patterns. The latches: It uses 1.2mm radius pegs dropping into 1.4mm radius holes. If your printer runs over-extruded, you might want to shave the pegs down slightly before printing.
Cable Hub with Sign
Unlabeled cable routing is exactly how you unplug the wrong drive during a transfer. To fix that, this dome now features a snap-fit socket joint holding up a rigid nameplate so it's perfectly clear whose cords belong where. Sizing and Fit Base diameter: 101.6 mm (4 inches) Ports: 8 individual routed exits Joint: 3mm friction snap-fit
4.5mm USB-C Desk Anchor
An adhesive-mount anchor for securing 4.5mm USB-C cables to the side of a desk. It holds the line captive when unplugged, preventing it from sliding onto the floor under its own weight. Fitment and Clearances Host capacity: Standard 4.5mm rubber and braided USB-C jackets. Entry bore: 4.5mm diameter. Snap channel: 3mm entry width. Mounting interface: 14x14mm flat footprint for standard double-sided tape. Check Before Printing Measure your cable jacket with calipers. Thick reinforced lines exceeding 4.8mm will bind or crush in the bore. Thin peripheral cords under 3.5mm may slip out of the keyhole opening when the line goes slack.
Print-in-Place Concentric Rings
A set of five concentric rings designed to print in place as a single piece. Excellent as a clearance test for your printer or just a satisfying desk fidget. Remix Hooks This design is built on a few key parameters that are begging to be tweaked depending on what you want to use it for: Wall Thickness: Currently set to 2mm for a solid feel. Clearance: Set to 0.4mm gap between rings. If your printer is finely tuned, drop this to 0.2mm or 0.3mm for tighter tolerances. Height: Currently 8mm, but you can scale this up on the Z-axis to turn them into nesting tubes. Inner Diameter: Starts exactly at 25mm to fit over standard dowels or large fingers.
Carbon Pill Membrane Dome
A replacement buckling membrane dome designed for custom keyboards and keypads, optimized for a carbon contact pill. Pill Cavity: A 2mm diameter, 0.4mm deep recess inside the top roof holds a standard carbon contact pill. Anti-Tilt Mass: The upper section is kept thick and rigid, forcing the thin side walls to buckle evenly and keeping the pill traveling straight, even on off-center strikes. Air Relief: Base channels prevent suction on the return stroke.
