This is a fidget toy consisting of multiple buttons and sliders. The interface doesn’t perform any real functions—it’s designed purely to entertain a fidgety child. Although primarily intended as a toy, you can also repurpose or modify it for your own electronics projects.

Parts Needed

1. Rotary Encoder – 2 pcs (for Rotary_Encoder_Knob.stl)

2. Tactile Switch – 4 pcs

3. Latching Button – 3 pcs

4. Magnet – 3 pcs (for Magnetic_Knob_part1.stl and Magnetic_Knob_part2.stl)

5. Rocker Switch – 1 pc

Printing Steps (for non–multi-color printers)

Slicer Used: Orca Slicer

1st Part

1. Print Case_Top.stl and Case_Top_Surface.stl in a single project, sharing the same bed X and Y location.

2. Add a new filament from the filament tab.

3. Ensure the two STL files use different filaments.
