About this design
The Hex Fidget Slider is a hexagonal plate with a tile that slides back and forth and clicks into three positions you can feel. Great for restless hands during a meeting, a long train ride or a game night.
- Base 66 × 58 mm and 12 mm thick, tile 24 mm wide
- Total height 16 mm, 32 mm of travel with three click positions
- Two separate parts: after printing, press the tile into the track until it clicks
- Looks great in two colours
- Prints without supports, digitally checked for printability
Print tips: print the base flat and the tile upside down, tongue up, as supplied. 0.2 mm layers, 3 walls and 20% infill. In PETG the tongue flexes most smoothly; if the click feels too stiff, lightly sand the outside of the tongue. Not suitable for small children, as it contains small loose parts.
You get two STL files and one 3MF.

Designer's tip
Print the base flat and the slider tile upside down, with the tongue pointing up, as supplied. Then place the tile on top of the track and press it firmly straight down until the tongue clicks under the lip. Use two colours for the best look. If the click feels too stiff, lightly sand the outside of the tongue; in PETG the tongue flexes most smoothly. Not suitable for small children: small loose parts.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a print-in-place fidget?
No, it is two separate parts. You print them separately and then press the tile into the track of the base until the tongue clicks under the lip.
Can I take the tile out again?
That is hard, because the tongue locks under the lip. It is meant to stay in and only slide back and forth.
What if sliding feels too stiff?
Lightly sand the outside of the tongue, or print in PETG. That material flexes more smoothly than PLA.
