[Collab X BuckleNShackle] Dango Fidget Bolt

Henlo StarBeans!! 🍡💖

I'm so excited to finally share this month's collab with you all—Dango Fidget Bolts!! 🥹✨

This one was a collaboration with BucklenShackle (James), who is genuinely one of my favorite people to collab with. 💖 He creates some of the coolest fidget bolts around, and the amount of creativity and work he puts into every design is incredible. If you haven't checked out his page yet, you definitely should!!

These little dango friends are adorable and super satisfying to fidget with. Twist them, spin them, stack them on a tray... they're the perfect little fidgety food companion!

Huge thank you again to James for another amazing collab—it was such a blast bringing these little guys to life together.

If you print some, I'd absolutely love to see them! Be sure to tag both of us so we can share your colorful little dango creations! 🍡🌸

WHAT'S INCLUDED

💖 Dango Fidget Bolt with 4 different cap/face options!!
💖 Dango clicker top (print full size only)
💖 Multiple adorable dango expressions
💖 Two display tray sizes
💖 Printable Dango label stickers

RECOMMENDED PRINT SETTINGS

• Layer Height: 0.16
• Infill: 15 percent
• Supports: Not usually needed
• Filament: Matte or regular PLA
• Adaptive Layers recommended for smoother effect

PRINTING NOTES

• The clicker tops should not be resized. Everything else was printed at 60% and looks super cute!!
• Missing the clicker "+" attachment piece after printing? It likely did not adhere to the build plate. Try washing your plate with soap and water, increasing bed temperature by about 4°C, adding a brim, and reprinting the affected piece.
• If your clicker feels unusually wobbly, make sure it is fully seated in the print. You can also gently bend the metal pins on the underside of the clicker inward , as they may not be making full contact with the print. Snipping them off works even better!
• Make sure all supports and brim material are fully removed before assembly. Small leftover pieces can affect how the clicker feels.
• Clickers should fit snugly. If parts are excessively loose or tight, your printer tolerances may differ slightly and may require minor calibration adjustments. You can size up or down by .1%
• The eye/mouth are small, so if they disappear when slicing, use the paint bucket tool to fill them in instead of object paint! This is a normal glitch in slicers with tiny split objects, but super easy to fix :) the 3MF is set up already to be fine

Other Notes:

✨ My designs are not recommended for young children or anyone at risk of choking hazards, as some parts may be small. They are also not food safe, as always with 3D prints.

✨ I make all of my designs from scratch in Blender without the use of AI. I will be recording my process more this summer if I have the time, and making more videos. You can check my channel out here!: https://www.youtube.com/@StarMouse3D

Stay sillyl!!
