3D model description

We might look similar, but they don't spin like me. 😏

I saw many amazing squishy ball fidgets recently and couldn't stop thinking:

What if a squishy ball could spin by itself?

Inspired by classic spinning tops, HelixCore transforms a simple squeeze into a spinning motion.

Just:

πŸ‘‰ Press

πŸ‘‰ Spin

πŸ‘‰ Release

No twisting.

No second step.

No extra hand required.

Just pure mechanical satisfaction.

βš™οΈ Hidden Engineering
Inside HelixCore is a mechanism that converts squeezing motion directly into rotational motion.

The design combines:

Ball Screw Mechanism
Clutch System
Elastic Return Drive
Dual 608 Bearings
From the outside, it looks like a simple squishy ball.

Inside, it's a surprisingly complex mechanical toy disguised as one.

Hardware Required
HelixCore requires only:

2 Γ— 608ZZ Bearings
1 Γ— Rubber Band
608ZZ Bearing Size:

22 mm Outer Diameter
8 mm Inner Diameter
7 mm Thickness
No magnets required.

No glue required.

πŸͺ’ Rubber Band Selection
HelixCore is intentionally forgiving when it comes to rubber bands.

I've successfully tested bands ranging from 28 mm to 40 mm.

Different rubber bands simply change the feel of the fidget:

Softer bands = lighter squeeze
Stronger bands = faster rebound
Tighter bands = bonus finger workout πŸ’ͺπŸ˜†
Feel free to experiment and find your favorite setup.
