Spool of Silk Thread DOUBLE END CLICKER Fidget

This unique key switch clicker emulates a true spool of silk sewing thread. It has a clicker button on each end. It should be a delight for any quilter or sewist.

For a very real effect, use a wood PLA filament for the “spool”, a fast color change silk filament for the “thread” (such as AMOLEN S Series PLA), and several silk colors for the “key cap”.

Assembly is simple with no glue required:

• slide the “thread” over one end of the “spool” (either end)
• insert the other half of the “spool” into the opposite side of the “thread”
• snap the two halves of the “spool”  together inside of the “thread”
• orient each key switch so the retaining tabs match the retaining indents inside of the “spool” and snap the switch into place
• align each rectangular receptacle on the bottom of the “key cap” with the rectangular portion of the key switch and press the cap on. 

There are three profile .3MF files:

1.) the “key cap” for each end that is printed with a .2mm nozzle at .10mm layer height

2.) the “thread” that is printed with a .4mm nozzle at a .28mm layer height

3.) The “spool” that is printed  with a .4mm nozzle at a .20mm layer height

Be sure to download all three profiles. For the “key cap” I highly recommend cloning the model and printing more than one to reduce purge poop and time per object.
