Sliders are printing & clicky testing
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!
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.
Printer enclosure & new design (sorta)
We made it though the move, and I’m starting to think about what is needed to get the printer ready to go again. In our old house the printer was in the basement, and because of that a lot of running was needed access it. This time I am going to build an enclosure and…

Last batch for a while
We are moving and I have to take a break from making sliders while I focus on other things. Feel free to message me on Reddit, Etsy or here if I can find a way to add my email address. I may be able to start back up in November or December. Hope to see…
Matte black magnetic fidget slider
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.
Fidgets made so far
Right now I have 12 sliders made, all in matte black. I have enough magnets to make 8 more. I’m not sure if I should make more black or matte blue. If I can get some good photos, I’ll list the black ones tomorrow on Etsy 09/20/22.
Production update
I think I have about 17 sliders printed. All in black. Still need to add magnets and assemble.
