• Thicker walls of container to eliminate stringing and better fit the dumpling
• Changed to tree slim full supports - cool fully before removal
• Reduced dumpling infill to 10% for a more consistent click
• Included both ams and non ams versions in one file. Also included eyes with and without white parts for non ams version.

🔧 Hardware Required

• 1x Mechanical Keyboard Switch - [https://a.aliexpress.com/_EITEERG](https://a.aliexpress.com/_EITEERG)
  (MX-style switches work best)

The switch press-fits into the base of the dumpling.

⚠️ Keyboard Switch Fitment Notes

The Dumpling Clicker has been tested successfully with multiple MX-style mechanical keyboard switches during development. However, due to normal 3D printing tolerances, fitment can vary slightly depending on:

• Printer calibration
• Filament type
• Flow settings
• Material shrinkage

Some switches may fit more tightly than others.

If your switch is difficult to insert:

• Avoid forcing it aggressively
• Gently warming the dumpling body with a hairdryer for a few seconds can help soften the plastic slightly and allow the switch to press-fit more easily
• Minor sanding may also help if needed

A snug fit is intentional to help keep the switch securely in place during use.

🛠️ Assembly Notes

AMS Version

Simply print and assemble. I find it helps to put the switch into the dumpling first then push both onto the base.

Non-AMS Version

Glue the separate:

• Eyes
• Blush pieces

into their recessed slots after printing.

Tweezers help unless you enjoy chasing tiny blush dots across the floor at Mach 3.
