Design Concept

The Gear Cube Fidget is an innovative stress toy designed with a mechanical gear system that provides a tactile experience while engaging with the cube. The complex interlocking gears add an aesthetic element that stimulates both visual and physical interaction.

Purpose

This model serves as a fidget toy, helping individuals relieve stress and anxiety. It is ideal for those who need a physical activity to focus on during work or study, serving as both a visual puzzle and a handheld distraction.

Printing Recommendations

For optimal quality, print the cube using PLA with a 0.2mm layer height. Supports may not be necessary unless printing at a smaller scale. A shell thickness of 1.2mm enhances durability.
