Fidget Snowflake

The "Keeps Your Hands Busy" Fidget Snowflake ❄️

A fidget toy for your desk. It sits flat as a twelve-point snowflake, and every way you move the stem gives it a different look.

🟩 𝗪𝗔𝗬𝗦 𝗧𝗢 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬

▸ 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗺 — Leave it flat on the desk and twist. Each ring turns until it stops against the point of its neighbor, and the stripes shift into mesmerizing designs.

▸ 𝗣𝘂𝘀𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗣𝘂𝗹𝗹 — Slide the stem from side to side and the rings shift off-center for a whole different set of visuals.

▸ 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗜𝘁 𝗨𝗽 — Raise it by the stem and the 13 rings drop into a pointed cone.

▸ 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗜𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 — Raise and lower it on the desk and it makes a satisfying sound as the rings come back down.

▸ 𝗧𝗲𝘅𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗺 — The stem is textured, so it has a tactile feel under your fingers while you fidget.

🟩 𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗞𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞

▸ 𝗣𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 — One print, no assembly. All 13 rings and the stem come off the plate already captured inside each other.

▸ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁-𝗦𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘀 — Every ring is the same distance from the next, all the way out, so each one turns freely until its points meet.

▸ 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗿𝘀, 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝗦𝘄𝗮𝗽𝘀 — White rings with blue stripes, for only two filament changes and under 4g of purge.

🟩 𝗖𝗛𝗘𝗖𝗞 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗘𝗗 𝗙𝗜𝗥𝗦𝗧

▸ 179 x 179mm point to point and 39mm tall with the stem. Leave room beside it for the prime tower if you print the stripes in blue.
