Favorite Fidgets?
Hello all! I am starting a small project of 3D printing fidget/stim toys and giving them to therapist offices, youth groups, etc. for free for people to take with them. I have a list of a few fidgets I'm already planning to make, but if people could share their favorite fidgets that they enjoy using so I can make and share them with people, please feel free to drop the models in the comments! Hopefully I'll have a website up soon for people to donate for filament costs and such, but until then, any and all input is greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone! submitted by /u/A_Rose_OC to r/3Dprinting [link] [comments]

Fidget Toys Tier List - $30 and Under Edition!
I tried them all so you don’t have to! All of these can be found on AliExpress for ~$30 or less. BTW, everything in C tier and above is well-made and worth buying imo, depending on your preferences. The higher tiers are just MY personal favorites. E tier and below, however, I’d stay away from. If anyone has any questions about a specific fidget, feel free to ask! submitted by /u/AnalogStrawberry to r/fidgettoys [link] [comments]

Do Not Support Funky Fidgets Shop
Funky Fidgets is a terrible brand and you really shouldn’t be supporting them. They steal ideas from artists, have a terrible attitude and customer service, and they’re just straight up vile people. They always flaunt their new releases, saying that they designed them, but i’m here to tell you that they design NOTHING. I have noticed this about them for a long time, ever since their sensory lanyards came out. They straight up copied AC Toyz Comfort keychains, but my last straw was seeing them copy Fidge’s hair twirler. Fidge is an actual small business/artist who designs their products from scratch. And Funky straight up copied their original concept. It doesn’t look exactly same but it’s interesting that they came up with the exact same idea AFTER Fidge’s became really popular?!?! And act like they invented it? They have sent the creator of Fidge PR so they know about her. The first images are fidge’s original creation AND her description. The second two are Funky’s, notice how they used AI? Now, I don’t have a problem with white labeling, per se, but what I do have a problem with is these people acting like they invent new products and call everyone else’s a copy, when it is actually THEM copying other people. They have a cult base following that parrots everything the owner tells them to. They blast customers who dare leave a negative review on their social media platforms. They send leaking, defective products and ignore you when contacting customer service. I would really just suggest ordering from anywhere else and stop lining the pockets of the condescending crooks at Funky Fidgets Shop submitted by /u/ilurvsquishies to r/fidgettoys [link] [comments]

I found a fidget that helps me A LOT
I’m a life-long hair puller. I’ve been looking for something to keep my hands busy for a long time but nothing was as satisfying. I even shaved my head but ended up just waiting till I finally can do it again🥲 so here it is. It’s from a uk-based company. The black has a silkier texture. I recently lost the pink one and ordered three more cause I never want to be without them ever. Called Fidge hair twirlers. Really hope they help somebody. submitted by /u/Electrical_Will_8898 to r/trichotillomania [link] [comments]

Clients keep breaking all the fidgets!
Robot moderate do not take this down. I am a therapist working at a private practice. Okay okay I know it's not a big deal, but my god it is so annoying to have to buy all the office fidgets only to watch specific clients be way to rough with them! And it's always the nice squishy ones (the expensive ones) that they break. For the year and a half I've been with the Private practice I work for, I've probably had to replace 15+. Needoh, I hate you, you are not durable at all. At least one of my clients has been requesting I hide the "good fidgets" during other client sessions because of how often they break them. Grrrrr. submitted by /u/pilotknob_ to r/therapists [link] [comments]

I'm a fidget hater... and I made a fidget toy.
Generally I've seen fidgets as a waste of filament. I tend to print mostly utilitarian stuff for myself. Half of it is so niche and specific to my needs that I never post online. When I do print more artistic models they tend to be more complex kit type of builds. For whatever reason I had an idea to make a pop-it bubble wrap like fidget. I will say that the constraints of making something small and satisfying that wont break easily do present a fun challenge. Getting the print-in-place snap mechanism just right was more nuanced and interesting than it seems at first glance. submitted by /u/entropy-tamed to r/3Dprinting [link] [comments]

Can we talk fidgets that actually help?
Hey y’all — I’ve come to terms that I can’t sit still to save my life. If I’m not fiddling with a pen, my hoodie strings, or the hem of my shirt, I basically float off into space. So I’m thinking it’s time to start using a real fidget or sensory tool — on purpose. But instead of sifting through a million Amazon reviews, I’d rather hear from fellow ADHDers who’ve actually used this stuff in real life. Here’s what I’m wondering: • What’s your go-to fidget or sensory tool that actually helps you stay focused or calm? • Any favorites that are subtle enough to use at work or school without drawing attention? • Have you tried anything that just… didn’t work at all? Also curious about the more stimmy/sensory side — squishies, textures, stretchy things, etc. I’ve heard mixed things about stuff like pop tubes or stretchy strings — fun or just loud and annoying? Would love any recs — especially if they’re affordable, durable, or surprisingly awesome. Thanks in advance — can’t wait to see what’s helped you stay grounded submitted by /u/PapaJens_ to r/ADHD [link] [comments]

My husband thought this was a fidgeting toy.
My husband thought my stitch counter was a fidget toy. When I found it like this I was like "honey did you touch this?" I need it cause I have a horrible memory and trouble counting stitches. He goes "Yeah why?" "Because it's a stitch counter so I remember how many stitches I have" he smiles innocently "I'm sorry it had a clicky button that made the numbers go up" I just started laughing in disbelief. Thank God I remember what row I was on or I would be more than mildly infuriated lol. submitted by /u/CristalClaw to r/mildlyinfuriating [link] [comments]
