Clicky Phone Fidget (2-in-1 Fidget)
Here is a Clicky Phone Fidget inspired by the original ‘fidget’ phone - the rotary 🙌🏼 To make it extra fun I designed it to be two fidgets in one: a clicky receiver and a spinning number dial.
Please note the following items are also needed for each clicky phone fidget: One keychain (ball bead chain style) One keyboard switch

3D Printing Instructions: 0.2 mm Layer Height for all parts except dial 0.16mm Layer Height is needed for the dial 15% Infill Supports added to Outer Shell piece only Pause added to insert keychain a.k.a. phone cord (see info for print plate #1)
I have uploaded a 3mf project file with the following print plates: Print Plate #1 (all parts except dial): one color, layer height 0.2mm, manual supports added to outer shell piece, pause print added at Layer 36 (layer height 4.60mm) to insert keychain
Print Plate #2 (phone dial): 2 colors, layer height 0.16mm, Arachne wall generator selected ‘on’
How to pause the print to insert the keychain:
- When you are printing Plate #1, it will pause at layer 36 (layer height 4.60mm). When the print is paused, insert one end of the keychain into the outer shell and the other end in the receiver. I have designed the ‘holes’ in each part to match the two different ends of the keychain.
- After the keychain is inserted I like to use blue tape to secure the rest of the keychain to the print plate so it isn’t jiggling around too much:)
- Note: it is important to keep the Outer Shell piece and the Receiver near each other so that the keychain (phone cord) easily reaches both pieces. If you plan to print multiples I would merge those four parts into one object or assembly and then clone or copy them to keep them like my original configuration.
How to assemble (also see photo): Once all the parts are printed:
- Remove the supports out of the Outer Shell piece
- Insert a keyboard switch into the inner body piece
- Insert the inner body into the outer shell (it will snap together)
- Insert the peg thru the dial and then snap the peg into the front face of the phone
- Connect/push the receiver into the top of the keyboard switch
Have fun printing! 😊 Erin
