Description

This Fidget Hand Roller is an easy print for all Bambu printers as it has tight tolerances. It's very satisfying too!

To imagine what you can expect from this hand roller, grab two markers and spin them around each other. See how nice that is? This model was made in aim to replicate this with the use of (4) 608 ball bearings.

**Update 2 - 11/17/23

- Updated all print profiles with support free rollers.

- Removed unnecessary filaments

- Added and additional key to profiles only containing one.

**Update 1 - 11/17/23

- Added five additional textured rollers for a better experience.

Don't have any metal bearings? Try printing Cernott's Remixed Tighter 608 Roller Bearings : https://makerworld.com/en/models/24750#profileId-33079

These bearings may not roll smooth but do fit this model to make it 100% printable! Be sure to clean out any area for bearings to ensure great fitment, everything will be snug!

The files provided include three build plates in which you can mix and match depending on your color and texture roller preferences. There is many print files, one with the rollers closer together (compact version), another with these rollers about 5mm more apart (wide version), a tri-roller design for people with larger hands, and a triple “inline” roller version to roll between both hands or roll out some tense muscles across the body.

All print settings are provided in each print profile.

These rollers feature a hollow cavity which can be filled with beads for an interesting sound and added weight!

My prototypes were made with PLA, please enjoy and have fun rolling away!

Assembly

1.) Begin by inserting the screws inside the roller frame (compact or wide).

2.) Place two of your four 608 bearings over the screws.

3.) Begin slowly threading the two inner roller tubes on each screw. Be sure to not over-tighten!

4.) Press the other two bearings you have on hand into your desired rollers.

5.) Slide the desired rollers overtop the previous assembly and press them down onto the fixed bearings.

6.) Lastly, fasten the other roller frame to the inner rollers passing through the final two bearings with the remaining two screws. The key can be helpful here (you may find the othe side rotating so print two keys if this is the case).

7.) Enjoy your new toy!

come out really nice. I printed with a gold PETG and a black PLA.. I did however use the studio and added a brim, as my first attempt didnt stick to the bed. though im not sure that had anything to do with the profile and had more to do with my setup.

That looks amazing! Loving the accents on the spiral texture. Thanks for the note on using a brim, for reference I used Bambu glue on a smooth pei sheet and have had great success but I’m aware many others may have different setups and it’s not too difficult to add one yourself like you did. Thanks for sharing!

Replying to @3DVJModels :

Lately, I’ve actually been having quite great results with using number 4 hold TRESemmé hair mousse on the bed. it fizzles down and disappears on a hot bed and layers very evenly where as glue doesn’t always lay smooth. your model certainly didn’t need a brim. It’s just my printer seems to be a bit stupid sometimes and wasn’t wanting to cooperate. That’s pretty much the only reason I used to brim in the first place but to avoid it I’ve been using hair moose actually, and it washes off the bed quite easily in the sink.

Great model! I'm impressed by how well everything fit together, even the key fit just right and was well thought out. Took a little bit of work to dig out the supports in one of the rollers, but it came out fine. Printed it in whatever PLA I had sitting around! Very satisfying fidget toy.

@3DVJModels

Thank you so much for the kind words! Apologies about the support issue, I am looking to change this. Anyways, it looks amazing! Appreciate you sharing!

@3DVJModels

All of the rollers have now been updated. They are now support free!

These have been a big hit among friends! The many options for roller designs and color combinations have made it an interactive design experience.

I’m so glad you and friends are enjoying my model! Thank you for taking the time to share, I love seeing different variations from everyone!

Great design! Everything fits together perfectly. This is really one of the highest quality items I’ve ever printed. Printed on A1 Mini with .4 nozzle in Bambu PLA Basic. Knurled roller came out even better than expected. No supports, just the rafts that were automatically added to the 2 skinny inside supports. The profiles include 2 keys intentionally as you turn from both ends at the same time. I made it work with 1 key and a thumb. You don’t need to crank down on the screws, just snug. The keys flex to limit the torque appropriately. Much larger than my ONO roller, my favorite fidget item. Even using these affordable DEEP DREAM 608 bearings, the printed roller has significantly less bearing slop than then expensive aluminum roller. I’d love to see a slightly slimmer version. I realize it can’t get too much smaller due to the bearing size, but I think a version with a little less girth to the rollers is possible. Maybe I’ll take a stab at designing that. Side note: I wish Bambu could infer an A1 Mini print profile from an A1 profile that fits on the bed so I don’t have to load the models into the slicer manually. Someday I’ll learn how to upload my Mini profiles to make it easier for the next guy.

@3DVJModels

Thank you so much for sharing! You are certainly correct with the bearing size limiting the roller to be smaller. I’m interested how much smaller you can make it if you happen to design your own. Also, I definitely agree with you on the profile needing to be reset depending on the printer. Luckily, many people upload A1 profiles to models for this reason! Thanks again!

Printed in PC for the superior feel. Had to add a brim to one of the rollers due to that choice, but in general I don't believe this print profile had any issues. Worked out great.

I experimented with different materials. What worked: - outer tubes in TPU with inner brim - inner tube in PC without brims - external face in PLA Matte - key in PC I had challenge with the screws. I first used PC. The screws broke twice when the fidget fell on the floor. You can see one broken (transparent). The second set I tried with 100% infill and circular patterns but it didn't help. The current set is the gray ones in PETG 100% infill circular patterns. Seems more durable.
