Welcome Pack! 🐢 Sea Turtle Clicker! (Patreon)

-Kelly 🐢 Like most of my designs, this is a clicky design that requires a mechanical keyboard switch to make the clicky part. These models

FRIENDSSS!!! The day I have been impatiently waiting for is finally here! As I've mentioned in previous posts, this sea turtle was my first clicky design and it was created last fall. It has been tested and refined repeatedly (currently version 48) since then to make sure it was as perfect as could be before releasing to you all!

This clicker is a multi-clicker with a super fun clicky shell in a pattern that is just so satisfying! What I love most about this design is the combination of clicky parts and flexi parts in a cute package! It's my go-to desk fidget for stressful days in the office! Added bonus, it looks great in single color as well! We were actually selling these at in person events long before we had a multi-color printer!

I have had an absolute blast printing and sharing these sea turtle clickers and I hope you do too!

Like most of my designs, this is a clicky design that requires a mechanical keyboard switch to make the clicky part. These models feature a universal base design which has been tested with many keyboard switches and 99% of them work! I have an up to date list of verified clickers with links you can find HERE. This design should be compatible with most MX style keyboard switches, however, the two metal contacts on the bottom of the switch must be clipped off flush (or folded over) to ensure the switch seats properly in the base (this is a destructive process).  

This pack contains two different turtle bodies, the first with a 25mm (1 inch) binder ring hole in its mouth and the second one is blank with no hole in its mouth. There is one set of caps for the shell consisting of 7 different caps. The 7 caps are all labeled with an engraved number to make assembly easy. ⚠️ Note: The middle cap (center cap) has an engraved arrow. This arrow must point towards the head of the turtle to function correctly. Included in this design are 7 bins that can be used as a build-you-own station! If I've learned one thing about kids, its that they LOVE building their own turtle!

3D Printing Settings:

Layer Height: 0.2mm (recommended)

External Perimeter (Outer Wall): 0.33mm (recommended)

First Layer Extrusion Width (Initial Layer Line Width): 0.35mm (recommended)

Only one wall on first layer: True (recommended)

Scale: 100% (Everything is modeled with tight tolerances and should not need to be resized)

Orientation: Print the caps face down so you have a smooth surface for clicking! (recommended for flat)

Bottom Layer Infill: Octagram Spiral really makes the shells pop, especially with dual/tri color filaments! I also like to print the bottom of the turtle with Octagram Spiral because the star pattern it makes on its belly is super cute! ⭐
