The Flexi-Claw Fidget & Grabber

Print your own pocket-sized mechanical claw! This design is a mix between a satisfying fidget toy and a functional grabber. It uses a clever hinge system that lets you wiggle it, snap it, and pick up small objects.

Why you should print this:

• Dual-Purpose: It’s a wiggly fidget toy that doubles as a tiny reaching tool.
• Satisfying Movement: The links are designed to move smoothly for the best "fidget" feel.
• Tested & Working: This model has been sliced and printed on a Bambu Lab printer to ensure the hinges work perfectly!

Printing Tip: I recommend using Tree Supports (as shown in my slicer settings) to keep the moving joints clean and easy to snap loose after printing.

Print Stats & Details

This is a great "scrap-buster" print because it uses very little material!

• Filament Used: Only about 20 grams (This is less than a small snack bag of chips!).
• Print Time: Around 3 hours (depending on your settings and printer speed).
• Low Cost: It costs roughly $0.50 in plastic to make one!

Recommended Settings

• Supports: Use Tree Supports to keep the hinges safe.
• Nozzle: Designed for a 0.2mm nozzle for high detail.
• Material: Works great in PLA for a stiff, snappy feel.
