Can you please make a looser version of this because it work well but it is pretty stiff

@tbkMAKER Ok, thanks! I found some PETG on Amazon just like you said, I'm gonna print it and see how it turns out.

Didn't work for me. I am not shure why. Printed on Prusa MK4S, 0% infill, PLA. But the model is very nice. I tried the version 3. (edited)

@JanZatka_2757946 I think I figured out the problem. I had to turn on blocking of support because even though I had supports turned of, it created them anyway. I am changing my rating. Model works for me now. Spring is tuff and you really practice your finger strenght. (Ps. just idea, if there would be some clicking mechanism making sound, that would be really cool and satisfying. :)) Thanks for sharing your model with comunity and for responding to my comment.

@JanZatka_2757946 Glad you got it figured out! I really wanted this model to have a clicking mechanism but everything I designed it would always get stuck in the downward position. The spring itself doesn't have enough strength to release itself after its compressed. If I do ever figure this out I will 100% upload it.

Fun little button. I ended up having to cut through the support on the one side because it simply acted like a hinge no matter how hard I pushed on it. Once I cut that, it worked great!

@daddy2kids_2232332 Thank you for posting your make! I'm glad you got it working.

Spring works very well, and is a great fidget.

@dyarian_1610487 Thank you for the make! Glad you're enjoying it.

@BaGooN Wow, that's the cleanest one i've seen yet... I've wanted a Voron for a very long time.... the quality is insane!

Hey I'm curious about those cutouts above the inner part. Does this help with bridging?

@DrOldenburg_285676 yes! IT allows you to do the bridging extremely cleanly so it doesn't interfere with the internal compliant mechanism.

Absolutely love them. So quick and easy. I used up the last little bits of a few old spools. Thanks.

@LMMerwin thats exactly what ive been using these for! to print out the last little bit of my spools of filament! Great thinking.

@Jori Looks like it turned out great! Hope you had no problems printing <3

Made a bunch to give away at work. =]
