Sliders are printing & clicky testing

Posted on December 10, 2022 by finley

Sliders are printing, I have about 5 or 6 printed. They still need to be cleaned up and assembled, and I’m still waiting on parts to complete the sliders. I’m pleased with the quality and the process so far. The enclosure has been nice. Clicky slider testing I’ve made one clicky slider and it feels…

Enclosure is complete!

Posted on December 6, 2022December 6, 2022 by finley

Last night I finished building the enclosure and venting system for the 3D printer. Everything is working and I test printed a slider. The shell came out great, but the magnetic plate magnet spacing is off by .05mm. I’ll have to test and make adjustments. I printed a blue material, but I’ll try black filament…

Printer still works

I was not sure the printer would work after the move, but it looks like everything works. I’ve been printing parts for the exhaust system. I may also print the hinges for the enclosure. I still need to get the plexiglass for the enclosure and figure the best way to drill the exhaust holes.

Matte black magnetic fidget slider

Posted on September 24, 2022October 13, 2022 by finley

This last batch has been some of the best sliders I’ve made to date. Don’t get me wrong, all of my sliders have been good. Two things made this last one unique. New magnet spacing and a new texture on the bottom plates. The new texture makes the sliding action just feel better.
