Description

Based on the same platform as 3-Click slider that started it all, FidgetGirl is a brand identity dedicated to my daughter. As a Girl Dad, I wanted to share with her my passion for design and fidgets by making designs that were in her likeness and favorite colorways. Incredibly comfortable in the hand, has a nice worry stone sort of feel to it. The perfect size for when you're on the go!

--------------------------------------------------

The descriptions below serve as a guide to outline the specifics of the materials offered, sound, and feel. Every listing will contain a variety of these particular material/s and setup/s. The title of the item will serve as the outline of what material/s and setup/s are being utilized.

--------------------------------------------------

MATERIALS

• PLA - Standard FDM Filament (Utilized for both tops and bottoms, can be printed up to 4 colors)

• Composite Filament - Contains Metal and PLA (The heaviest 3D offering). These include Stainless Steel, Copper, Iron, Brass, and Bronze. Each material can impact the play of the slider, Iron specifically is magnetic and can negate much of the crunchiness in a “crunchy” slider.

*Composite materials have a higher likely hood of having marks/scratches, rougher feel, and other noticeable aesthetic imperfections. I always strive for the highest quality of my product offerings, but with composite I WILL NOT be held responsible for anything other than functional sliding problems. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS!

• PETG (All Forms) - This material can withstand higher temperatures and the elements better than PLA.

• Nylon (All Forms) - The smoothest offering, only used on bottom plates. Not Snappy, moves much more freely, can handle very high temperatures.

*This material can have warping due to the printing process and the high temperatures required for printing. I always strive for the highest quality of my product offerings, but with Nylon I WILL NOT be held responsible for anything other than functional sliding problems. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS!

• Resin - Typically a form of ABS (Mostly used on tops or middles, smoother to the touch).
*This material is much more susceptible to cracking, breaking, and shattering if not handled with care. If dropped on a hard surface such as concrete, asphalt, hardwood and tile floors, etc., damage may occur. I always strive for the highest quality of my product offerings, but with Resin I WILL NOT be held responsible for anything other than functional sliding problems. DO NOT BUY THIS PIECE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS!

• GITD (Glow In The Dark) - Can be offered in Resin, PLA, PETG, and Nylon. Glow intensity and glow times can vary, sometimes UV light or Blacklight is the only catalyst to make the glow work.

--------------------------------------------------

SOUND AND FEEL

• Crunchy - Magnets have space to slightly move around providing a “crunchy” sound, and slight “crunchy” feel while sliding the plates.

• Cicada Crunch & Hybrid Cicada Crunch - Magnets have ALOT more space and make a sound that reminded me of a Cicada, it’s just a fun way to say VERY CRUNCHY. You can kind of feel the magnets pop beneath your finger while sliding. This setup typically provides less strength in feel than both Crunchy and Silent Less/No Crunch Offerings. Hybrid Cicada crunch differs in that it utilizes only 1 side of the slider with the cicada setup.

• Less/No Crunch - Magnets are glued into place to prevent movement which prevents the crunchy sound and feel.

• Mixed Crunch/No Crunch - Occasionally certain materials can have less wiggle room for the magnets, or the glue used to make the pieces can get on the magnets. This can cause variation in the pieces where some are crunchy, and some are not. I always want to be as transparent as possible for when this happens and therefore created this "Mixed" category in order to best represent the product you will receive could vary in crunchiness.

*All setups can vary in crunchiness. This means that sometimes what should be crunchy could have very little to no crunch, and Less/No Crunch could have a slight crunch or a crunch develop over time.

DISCLAIMERS

While my sliders are tested and designed to prevent plate stick, if plate stick does develop, place a piece of wax paper between plates and rub for about 20-30 seconds, slide tape will always work to resolve sticking plates but will provide a smooth sliding feel.

Pictures show more than one slider for display purposes only. You will receive only 1 slider with your order.

Every piece utilizes magnets and should only be handled by adults.

!!!DUE TO THE NATURE OF 3D PRINTING THERE CAN BE IMPERFECTIONS!!!
