Twister Fidget

Introducing the Twister Fidget, the fidget toy that took me weeks to invent, but only seconds for you to become completely obsessed with. With a simple and oh-so-satisfying half-twist, it mechanically and magically (mostly magically) expands to more than double its size because…why not.

Sporting a comfy grip for your fingers and eye-catching colors this little gadget is designed to keep your hands busy and your brain amused. Sure, it won’t brew your morning coffee, file your taxes, or take your dog for a walk (seriously, don’t even try), but it will provide endless entertainment. Even stationary it doubles as a question generator. And if that’s not enough, I have a strong suspicion it might also hypnotize goats. Use responsibly.

SCIENCE STUFF
Fidget toys can be great for everyone, but they’re especially helpful for individuals with anxiety, ADHD, or ASD. They provide a fun and engaging way to develop coping skills, particularly for those who struggle with focus, sensory processing, or self-regulation.

ASSEMBLY REQUIRED
Watch the video below, unless you want the challenge of figuring it out. Hint, the numbers on the parts face upwards.

Assembly time: 10 minutes or so. The 6 1/2 minute assembly video doesn’t count.

As seen on Squid Games, not really, I just wanted to get some cool search words in this listing.

Please support starving 3D designers and NEVER sell or share the digital files. Ramen noodles are getting a little boring and I would like to upgrade to mac & cheese.

Commercial licenses aren’t available yet. I want to build my library and then offer a monthly commercial license subscription on Patreon. If you are determined to sell this print commercially, please re-purchase the download once for every 20ish prints you sell. Yes, I know, but a person can dream.

WARNING
Most 3-D prints with moving parts can come loose and pose a choking hazard for small children. Plus it scares cats.
