{"data":{"model":{"id":"39178","slug":"gear-fidget-toy-04-the-little-square-with-a-spin","name":"Gear Fidget Toy 04 - The Little Square With a Spin","authorship":"author","club":false,"excludeCommercialUsage":false,"price":null,"eduProject":null,"ratingAvg":"5.0000000000","myRating":null,"ratingCount":8,"description":"

I ran out of fidget toys i really enjoy. An obviously highly critical situation!

That's why i started to design my own ones, which resulted in a series of five similar but still quite different fidget toys using helical gears.

The series:

Gear Fidget Toy 01 - The big square
Gear Fidget Toy 02 - The thin square
Gear Fidget Toy 03 - The hexagon
Gear Fidget Toy 04 - The little square with a spin
Gear Fidget Toy 05 - The flat hexagon with a spin (my favourite)

Notes:
As i designed it with quite small tolerances to not have the gears too tight ore loose, i don't recommend to resize them.

Be careful with the amount of glue when assembling the top and bottom parts.
