About this model
The SwitchBox is possibly my best fidget yet! Based off of fan speed button mechanisms, this unique toy features 4 switches and 1 reset button. Switching each switch causes the other switches to slip off - use the reset button to reset all switches! The springs are designed to last a long time, but do not leave the switches in their engaged position, this will quickly weaken them. I printed everything in PLA. I printed the switch springs with 3 walls and the reset spring with 2 walls - it is important that there is a balance between the spring strengths or it may malfunction. You can dampen the reset spring by squeezing it in your hand if you have issues.
