SPIRAGET SET | The Complete Spring-Thread Collection

About the Design

While experimenting with alternative thread geometries based on spirals and springs, I discovered how surprisingly satisfying simple axial motion can be.
Unlike traditional mechanical threads, a spring-based spiral creates a softer, more organic tactile response — somewhere between rotation and compression.

The Spiraget Set is a collection of seven print-in-place fidgets, each exploring a slightly different balance between resistance, smoothness, texture, and rhythm.

Each model offers its own “personality” — from tight, deliberate motion to fast, playful spinning.

📂 Print Profiles & Versions

General Profile
Includes all 21 models — all seven designs, each available in:

• Standard (clean)
• Bailed (for lanyards)
• Looped (for keychains)

Individual Profiles
Separated by model type, each containing its three variations.

🔍 The 7 Models Breakdown

30 mm — The Minimalist
Small, compact, and straightforward.
Tight tolerances create a deliberate, controlled motion.

70 mm Tight — The Challenge
An elongated version of the 30 mm model with very small gaps for a premium, resistance-heavy feel.
Identification: two shallow grooves on the top cap.

70 mm Loosen — The Reliable
Same geometry as the Tight version, but with slightly increased clearances for guaranteed free movement.

55 mm — The Smooth Medium
A balanced mid-size model with generous gaps, designed for fast and effortless spinning.

47 mm Textured — The Signature
Features the same spherical micro-node texture used in Rotaget and Threadget.
Tactile, grippy, and intentionally tight.

47 mm Low-Poly — The Happy Accident
A faceted variation born during an import mishap — retained for its unique look and surprisingly smoother motion compared to the smooth-surface version.

54 mm Buzz — The Decorative
Decorative grooves along the spiral itself create a subtle buzzing vibration during motion.

⚙️ Technical Notes & Verified Settings

• Tested Material: Bambu Lab Matte White PLA
• Print-in-Place: Minimal supports, no assembly required

⚠️ Tight Tolerance Models
(30 mm, 70 mm Tight, 47 mm Textured)
Different filaments or altered settings may cause temporary sticking.

First Move

Some models are intentionally snug. Apply a firm initial twist to break the static bond — all models have been physically tested and verified to move.

Optional Upgrade

A single drop of silicone oil transforms the motion into a silent, hydraulic-like glide.
