Fidget Toy Reviews with 3D Printed Options

we're going to start off with these two pins and this ladder looking thing as our first fidget toy so I'm not sure what to do with these all I have is these pins so I'm going to assume that I need to put these pins on top here and oh this is this is oh oh oh oh okay today we're going to be testing free fidget toys Yes you heard free fidget toys mystery box that my brother put together for me now the word free comes in with a little asterisk since the beginning now the reason these fidget toys are free is because my brother has a absolute huge obsession with his 3D printer more specifically this is not sponsored nor Affiliated the K1 creality series I'm going to give more information on that cuz he's really drooling all over it but we need to focus on the fidget toys so next fidget toy we're going to be checking out cuz I got a whole box full in here oh my goodness and I don't want to spoil the surprise for myself as someone with ADHD I have done so many different reviews of weird and unique fidget toys here are just a couple of the thumbnails of some of the reviews I've done and I'll leave a playlist down below for you to check out more fidget toy reviews now I know 3D printer machines are an absolute luxury item but you could do so many things if you do have your own business but right now we're focusing on the idea of the filament use which is basically pennies which is kind of free in the fidget toy world and that's my story all right so this next thing here what is this okay we have a little bead in there and it looks like a Castle this is actually pretty cute let's see the notes I have on this this one is called marble castle and it was designed by bamb bam designs oh look at that okay we can see the little video happening here that you just have an infinite Loop tiny puzzle that is absolutely adorable I really wonder if it's slanted exactly the same way that it shows in that tiny video and of course we have a time lapse of it working my brother is a 3D print geek yeah this this 3D print is definitely going okay you know what let's just figure out what what to do with this all right I'm not sure what the best angle for this is so I think maybe a top view is going to be our best one okay so here's our little bead and what does this do okay oh my good oh my goodness oh my goodness okay this is slanted I don't have to do anything I'm just rotating it here we see the bead is over there I'm guessing this is going to rotate the castle head okay rotate it rotate it oh my goodness and we start over that's interesting thing okay so if we push gosh I'm trying to find the best angle let's do this go go turn around twist the door okay turn and back up this is phenomenal this I could see definitely being put on a desk you might need a quieter bead if that's a thing that exists I'm not sure but let's hear it without me talking it's pretty quiet I'm going to rate this a funest level of 8 on 10 it's actually pretty cute and the design is adorable it's a castle we love castles and the next item what is that what do you do oh oh okay excuse me why is this so good so clearly there are magnets here so that means my brother had to glue in some magnets this reminds me a bit of a fidget Cube there's something about about having this free rotation in this shape that actually makes it really nice and it does fit in your hand it has a nice weight thanks to the actual metal pieces in there the magnets and this one here is called swivel fidget toy by kit crafters and you can see it's definitely magnetic and it just moves absolutely seamlessly yeah I'm going to give this probably a 9 on 10 just because it fits in your hand you can take it you can fidget with it in your pocket and it's magnetic that's really cute if you don't want to swivel you could just play with it like this if you're like me and you like obnoxious things that's nice but yeah this movement yeah I like this a lot I love how my brother's like you like weird and unique fidget toys I got you all right let's see what else we have here okay this one's pretty big and you are oh my goodness hang on we need to zoom out for you what is this what are you I love these filaments though okay I don't know what this is but we do see a squiggly line over here and different kinds of mechanism it almost looks like a pew pew but maybe not okay we found it so this one is called fidget prep and Pull and more now they did use another word instead of prep but we're going to try to be uh YouTube friendly here and the design was by DW designs and I still don't know what it is I'm looking at the pictures here we don't have a video unfortunately but I'm guessing we're going to have to pull one side and then trigger the other side so let's give that a try and one of the things that I love about the 3D printing Community is they all make these really cool designs and they're free to print okay but let's see what is what what do I do here what do I do uh no oh okay and then no [Music] no okay I think I get it now so you pull down here and you pull over here this is quite Hefty it's a two-handed piece maybe I'm doing it wrong maybe you need big hands oh I see I see you can use one hand I feel like maybe if this was printed a little smaller pop here and then basically yeah it's like a pew pew except it's just gigantic so my hand is barely getting this whole thing so you pull back and you Pew yeah this is fun it's very loud but it's also gigantic so I feel like if this was a little smaller it would actually be way more fun but at this size look at the mechanics here how crazy is this goes down pews I feel like if it was maybe 20% smaller this would be much better but the design itself I'm going to give this absolutely a 10 on 10 for design but size-wise this is just not as functional despite the fact that I have really big hands look at this mechanic though so I'm going to give it a pretty good Baseline of 7.5 on 10 but I feel like this is something if it were smaller you can put in your pocket but it is still very loud and I am looking at the 3D print for the little squiggly line and it's actually pretty impressive how it built it up all right and the next one this is gigantic what is this what is this what is brother what is this I absolutely love the color choices on this one and it's pretty flexible what is that we have different colors oh excuse me wait these are like little puppets and they're quiet but they have a really nice push back to them here let's try and get some sound out of them in out that's really cool that's really neat it really is like a puppet but let's find out what exactly this is and it looks like it's by 3D pry and it's a really long fidget to I wonder if you can keep it short oh that is a fidget spinner my goodness and it does look like you can make one little segment all by itself and then you can make it into a bracelet interesting you can make it longer and you can make it extra long like the one I have aha so it is a poppet it's called pop fidget Chain by 3D printy and you can make it as long or as short as you want it to be this is what the file looks like but this here again looks like we can make it just one little element and it seems like they have a whole line of different little poppet fidgets those are really cute let's let's play with that again so here is the entire snake that my brother made and it looks like we can pull these in or out in order to attach it but I don't want to attach it right now I just kind of want to look at these and push in and out these are really satisfying I would say Obviously the length of this whole thing is a little extra it's very extra but if you were to take one of these and put it in your pocket and just take it with you whether you're taking the bus or going out my goodness why am I enjoying this this is really cute and it has a really nice push to it yeah I'm going to give this actually probably a 8 on 10 normally I give poppets around a 7 on 10 but the fact that these ones have a nice push back to them and they're small and you can make it as big as you want I'm going to give them a higher rating I'm also curious on your rating so make sure that you give me your rating ings for each of these in the comments below all right let's pull out our next one okay this one's feeling very to very spiky okay oh oh oh I know what this is this is absolutely beautiful oh my goodness we have dragon scale looking one and then just some triangular little bits I think this is supposed to feel like cloth and it's supposed to give you this really nice feeling ASMR sensory experience and it's called dragon scale hex gal Chain by Riley designs look at that it's it's called a dragon scale chain mail which could be really good for those of you who are into cosplaying because these things are really light look at that okay let's just see what we have here in the pictures more of a scale looking like the print here and it's absolutely crazy how 3D printers just build things even things that are flexible I didn't know this was possible until of course my brother started getting obsessed over it I feel like my entire family just gets obsessed over things we find something we like the thing we learn everything about the thing are you like that let me know all right so let's see what this experience is like let's start with the dragon skip oh my goodness oh oh this feels really nice I don't know if I can wrap it around my arm let's try that but I'm pretty sure if you had printed a longer one you can use it as a cuff my goodness yeah you can definitely cosplay with something like this this is really cool if you're a cosplayer and you don't have a 3D printer yet oh look at that in the back here interesting so these are the shapes we have in the back and these are the shapes we have in the front and it really does feel like a wave kind of like a cloth like a jiggly cloth it even sounds nice this is nice okay let's try the smaller ones this one oh even the sound is different oh and this one's way more flexible that's really cool I don't know if this is as it's I'm losing my words here what I'm trying to say is that yes it is flexible and it feels like cloth you saw nothing but the weight of this one actually feels pretty pretty much better I like this and I like this but for completely different reasons the sound this one makes though absolutely wonderful I don't know what it is yeah this is great and this one I love the sound too also pretty great I'm going to give these cloths a good solid base of about a 7.5 I see these way more useful as cosplay items versus fidget items just because of the size and even if you print it small enough I don't think it's going to have that same flexibility as a bigger size all right and then we have is that a cherry this kind of looks like a chair we have more of this little squiggly thing going on down here which means oh we're going to have to oh look at it's like a oh it's like a little platform what do I do here okay this one is called keychain Apple toggle switch by pick 2 okay so it's not a cherry it's definitely an apple despite the fact that it still does look like a cherry to me and here's what the file looks like and I guess this is what the print looks like and here it's just building up that print in one piece really it does look like one piece so there's nothing really to install I think yeah if we look a little closer that squiggly line seems to really be integrated all together over here so let's try that again let's listen to that quietly this is really like a light switch it feels really nice it's a little awkward to hold okay there you go there you go feels nice in the hand yeah this actually feels nice it's a nice size and it looks like we can turn it into a keychain so you can put it in your bag or your backpack here's what the back looks like yeah this is nice it fits in your hands very nice I like this I'm going to say because it's portable and it does feel good with a lot of push back I'm going to rate this a 7.8 on 10 and now okay this one's a little bit of oval shape okay what is this color changing this is kind of color changing that's cute I love the filament on this and it looks like a pineapple it definitely looks like a pineapple if we had the colors reversed it' be like a pineapple under the sea and according to the notes that my brother left me this one is called satisfying clicking fidget button by 3D Michael they still look like pineapples to me they're really cute I love this texture wait I was about to say I really like the look of the texture on here until I realized yes we do have texture it's not as embossed as I'd like it to be so the texture is very mild it's not as stimulating for me I feel like if the dips were a little bit bigger this might actually be texturally way more interesting so it could be quiet fidget and let's see the inside my goodness so the inside has like these mechanisms so the question is does it actually make any kind of sound so this is what it looks like at the bottom let's go ahead and press oh okay okay yeah this is nice again I feel like if the texture wasn't this smooth and we had a little bit more grip it wouldn't slide down your hand yeah this is nice I like this and the fact that you could just rotate this in your hand and just keep going back and forth is definitely a Mindless fidget The Click is not too loud here listen it's about the same as clicking a pen maybe even more actually yeah but it has that same satisfying push to it I like this I didn't expect that there would be a push back that much which is very nice I'm going to give this because of portability and I do like obnoxious things I'm going to give this a solid 8.5 this is great I like I wouldn't change anything about this other than having maybe a little bit more texture for grip so it doesn't slide down my hand and maybe if there's a quiet version that would be great for those of you who want to take it to the office or to your class all right our next item in here is an Oreo oh my goodness this looks real oh my good goodness oh my goodness okay that's pretty cute I'm not sure what it does yet let's find our notes and this one is called super clicky Oreo Spinner by James the printer and I do like the thumbnail of this project it's really cute you can see the little coil thing on the inside and it gives instructions so you do have to glue a couple of the pieces together interesting and here's the print file and here's what the inside looks like it's always fascinating for me to see the inside of things and just how they work so let's see it's supposed to be a clicker oh oh both ways forward and backwards oh I like this I like clicky sounds this is doing it for me so the idea here is that the cream is the part that's moving I mean technically you can flip the top as well listen this is nice it's small it's simple you can keep it in your hand it's not much of a oneand fidget let's try with one hand oh gosh no no because at some point yeah it's not much of a oneand fidget you do need both hands just to kind of rotate this does feel nice I like it I'm going to give this probably an 8 on 10 it would be much higher first of all if we actually could fidget with one hand but it doesn't rotate you do need a little bit more Force to get it to work the realism on this is really phenomenal and the possibilities with this and the colors are absolutely infinite you can turn it into any of your favorite Oreos even the rainbow Oreo that they have here which is super cute I know this was a limited edition but you could still change the colors and make this as fun as you want it to be all right we're going to have to address the octopus in the room this was featured at the beginning of the video when I said that I have a fidget toy mystery box here but we actually haven't looked at it and I feel like this is a wacky track type of fidget toy and yeah my brother seems to have used the filaments that are super colorful I'm loving this and I'm curious if he glued the eyes in I'm going to have to ask him about that but that's really cute that we can make a face and according to my notes this one's called fidget toy Oli the octopus okay I thought it would be like Octavius the octopus oli's cute too and this is by everyday counts and I feel like it is a version of wacky tracks where correct me if I'm wrong but every part of the limbs are basically posable previously I haven't been a fan of wacky tracks just because I always get my fingers stuck in between and I always get hurt but let's check this out and how easy it is to use so so far he's standing we can make him standing in different ways can we put you higher kind of pose this way and he goes hello how do you do yeah I don't know how I still feel about wacky tracks it's definitely still very posable oh this is not posable what this is fakery uh-oh will not break it broke are the other back legs oh oops this one seems to be sensitive uh-oh I think I broke this it's definitely having a low spoon day so we're going to put the leg away but the front limbs seem to be okay yeah the front limbs are okay we can definitely pose and move these wait is it just the base no how about you it seems to be the first two joints that are posable yeah it's the first two joints and here I was trying to pose the other joints uh-oh okay keep that in mind it's not wacky trackable it really is these joints over here that are going to move still not a fan of wacky tracks the character is absolutely adorable I'm going to give this probably a three on 10 for me next one is what are you this looks more more like a massager what does this do this is like a no it's not a car this is a massager this this can't be a fidget toy hang on okay I'm not wrong it says massage roller fully printed by Savage Lao and it looks like you can just twist it between your hands okay so it can go oh oh oh you know what this is a great fidget maybe it's a massage but the fact that it rolls so seamlessly like this I love this look at the pretty colors that they made too this is this is definitely a massage roller so you can likely massage your oh that feels cool you can definitely massage yourself and I'm definitely getting imprints because water retention my friends this feels really good but at the same time you can bring this to your office to your classroom it's quiet let's hear that but this is silence classroom is never that quiet so if you bring this to your office you can actually get away with this and if ever you have any kind of area you want to massage this feels good no that was unpleasant I don't like being massaged here yeah I like this I like the Dual idea and I love the colors thanks for printing these colors my brother I'm going to give this a solid 8.2 very relaxing I like this and when looking at the 3D print of this I love the fact that it's printing everything vertically and how quickly it's just easy to put it together my brother said a lot of these were actually pretty quick to install so I like that and then what are you this is Tiny oh my goodness you are little why does this remind me of Yoshi this is definitely Yoshi colors with the little tongue the green and the white yeah this is definitely Yoshi this here is called mechanical switch fidget Click by Chris will code and look at the inside it has an extra piece it looks like it has a tiny spring on the inside and I'm loving the fact that we can get to see the inside so that means my brother likely installed a tiny spr ring and it even shows us that there's a button a slider a side spring a pen spring and the body okay let's see how this operates all right please click like a pen oh my goodness you know what this is kind of like a counter clicker too except it doesn't count anything oh my goodness oh my I think this is probably my favorite one today yeah I like this it's exactly exactly exactly like clicking a pen except you won't ruin your pen I like this like I liked this one but it doesn't push back upwards you have to turn it it has its own charm but this one really is perfect for one hand you can put in your pocket you put in your bag and if you like to fidget in your pocket this will fit perfectly yeah I'm I'm giving this for me a solid 9.5 the only thing that doesn't make this a 10 on 10 is probably because it's not that quiet so if they had a quiet version I would give this a 10 but yeah this is this I love I love I love you I love you I love you Yoshi and here we have two stacked ones oh we've seen these before yeah we've seen these before this is a kind of fidget toy that is kind of like you it's kind of like an infinite Loop where you have different circles inside different circle inside a different Circle and just kind of rotates endlessly it's just just rotation on rotation one of the things that I didn't like about this design is the scratchy sound I feel like if it weren't so scratchy oh this one these two have different textures the textures are great though like I really do enjoy the textures on these ones this one even better because you can see that the indents here are much deeper this one's okay but this one's nicer but it's the scratchy sound I'm not okay with the spinning itself is great and a spinning alone would have gotten probably a 6.5 but the scratchy sound just brings it down for me to probably a 4.7 and this one's called a tactical fidget ring by Glen ofits 3D and it looks like they have even more textures like like the honeycomb so there are three different textures so if you do want to focus on that that could be pretty cool but just keep in mind that scratchy sound is something out there and it hasn't been removed yet and oh it looks like we have a key oh I know what this is I don't need an explanation this is what you do I do this even with the lanyards that I have this is just basically a keychain spinner this is going to fly and Propel at some point if you're not careful but yeah this this this is definitely definitely my kind kind of thing if you if you like to spin your key this is it for me I like this quiet subtle fidgety you can have it anywhere just be careful if you're doing it while you're waiting for your bus that it doesn't just fly off onto the streets I'm going to give this it's subtle it's dumb a 10 on 10 I'm sorry it's a functional fidget toy you can add me all you want but I think I'm right time for geeking out now since my brother is a huge geek on his 3D printer he really wanted me to share this information cuz he's he's really absolutely in love with it and in case any of you grains are curious the brand for this one is creality k1 Max and some of the features are that it has an auto bed leveling that uses lar scanning so you can see the red laser lights scanning the bed it has a huge print volume and the printing speed is absolutely phenomenally fast too and it comes with a camera that has a time lapse as you can see that I've used throughout this video but it can also detect if your print has any issues on your own phone and and in case you're worried about any kind of unhealthy compounds generated during printing it comes in with a built-in air filter making printing much more pleasant but hey if you do have any questions cuz my brother's geeking out he said he's going to keep an eye in the comment section below so you can feel free to ask anything that you curious about and again this is not sponsored but a huge thank you to cral for sending this to my brother now I did get these in the mail and I think I know what they are these aren't 3D printed but someone did send them to me and if I'm going to do a free fidget to I might as well includ this one and they are Bloom fidget toys I absolutely love this let's just open it [Music] up it's called a Mari sphere and it's made here in Canada and it's got a really nice weight to it let's get rid of this tag and basically it's kind of an infinite fidget toy where you can kind of Bend things around open it this way kind of make like a little Lotus shape I really like this I like this a lot it's mindless fidgeting it's absolutely quiet and I've learned to appreciate it the more I've had this I mean just look how absolutely beautiful this is it's kind of like a Mandela in your hand look at that and like I said I've learned to appreciate this a lot so I'm going to give this a 10 on 10 it is absolutely phenomenal not promoting anything not sponsored not affiliated I really don't remember who sent it to me but thank you and I realized I haven't actually rated this one so let's just try this one again yeah this is great it's noisy it's not portable though you could put it upside down or right side up and it's fun I just kind of like looking at it and the fact that these don't fall too far away makes it something that is a repeatable activity but I'm going to give it a solid base of seven just because again it doesn't have extra features that would make it portable or ASMR with kind of little Goosebumps type things but yeah it's pretty good by the way if you grains haven't gotten yourself one of my dragon bags that can be turned into either a purse or a backpack as you can see here on the pictures and yes it comes with the straps you need to make it whatever style you want of course they are adjustable as well and not only are the straps adjustable but you can also change the dragon pH whether you want it to be colorful or just a plain white background and it does have its own dedicated zipper to get to the faces in case you also want to use it as an ITA bag which means a bag to display your own pins or charms and again you can put the pins whether you wanted on the white background or TAA you can also do it on the colorful background not just that but this bag has space let me tell you you can fit your switch in there pretty comfortably a pretty large wallet like you could see mine over here and heck why not add your favorite fidget toy too and yes there's even space for your phone with all of that in there the inside also has a zipper to keep some of your more valuables safe and if you need more space we do have a zipper in the bag for those items that you want to have more conveniently easily accessible and I can't tell you enough how many compliments I've gotten just walking around with this bag so if you're looking for something unique this season to
