SensoCubeStick. Multi-purpose sensory hybrid of Joystick, Sphere and Sensory Patterns

Made this just for fun for the Sensory Play Contest! I have children and wanted to create an interesting fidget toy. Since I had the skills, I thought—why not give it a try? 😊 Size & Materials Size: ~5x5 cm You'll need glue to join the two halves of the hull. Concept & Inspiration This is the final result of my experiments with fidget toy ideas—a hybrid of a joystick , a sphere , and sensory patterns . My children (ages 5 and 8) quite liked it. It feels unusual in the hands, but I think the result is intriguing. When you play with it, sometimes you focus on feeling the patterns, other times it becomes an anti-stress fidget you move in different directions, and occasionally the geometry itself captures your attention. I'm not sure if the original idea was fully realized, but I can honestly say the outcome is interesting. Printing Tips Printed with PETG , PLA , and combinations of both. Layer height: 0.2 mm (though 0.1 mm is better for the sensory parts). Instructions for Print & Assembly Print 2 pcs of SensoCubeStick_Half-print-2pcs.stl No supports needed 30% infill works well Orientation: wide part of the sphere facing upward Print 1 pc of SensoCubeStick_Center-print-1pcs.stl Supports required Can be printed without rotation or with a 45° rotation 30% infill Assemble Place the center part between the two halves at a slight angle—don’t force it. Glue Apply super glue (or similar) to join the two halves. Wait ~5 minutes. Done! Your fidget is ready to use. Feedback Hope you find it interesting—please comment and share your thoughts on how it feels!
