Free fidget clicker files, and a tool to make your own
The clicker models we publish are free to download on Printables and MakerWorld — the printable file, the colours, and the print profile we used ourselves.
They are made with Clicker Wonderland, our browser tool, which needs a free account only when you download and which is free while we’re in beta. Those are two different things and this page keeps them apart, because a file somebody else published and a tool you sign into are not the same offer.
Where the files are
- Dragon Head Clicker on Printables — a two-part fidget button around a real MX keyboard switch, 60 mm across, no supports, colours included.
- Dragon Head Clicker on MakerWorld — the same model, with a verified print profile attached: the exact project we sliced and printed.
More models are on the way. They appear on both platforms rather than here, because a repository is where people who own printers look and because the print profiles and the makes live there. Follow either account and new ones show up in your feed.
What is in the download
A clicker is two printed parts and one bought switch. The file gives you the two parts. The switch is an ordinary MX-style mechanical keyboard switch and costs a few ringgit.
| File | What it carries |
|---|---|
| 3MF | Both parts, laid flat on the plate, with the colour regions already assigned. Open it in Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer or OrcaSlicer and print. This is the one to use. |
| STL | Geometry only. STL carries no colour at all, so a set of STLs prints perfectly well and arrives as one colour unless you split it by hand. |
| Print profile MakerWorld | The exact project we sliced, so the machine settings that produced our photograph are the ones you start from. |
Printing is quick and needs nothing special: 0.2 mm layers, 15% infill, no supports. Our own 60 mm print took 1 h 32 m and 28 g of PETG in four colours. The whole of the printing side, including switch types and what to change when the fit is wrong, is on the printing page.
And then the tool
A published model is somebody else’s picture. The reason this business exists is the other half: putting your picture on the same mechanism.
Drop a photograph into Clicker Wonderland and the outline of the artwork becomes the outline of the button. The colours in the picture become the colours the printer lays down. Underneath, the app generates the same two-part mechanism that is in the free files — plate cutout, switch cavity, sliding guide, cross socket — sized to whatever you made.
The picture people bring is almost never a logo. It is a drawing that came home from school. That is the thing this tool turns out to be for, and it is why the hero example on the product page is a child’s drawing rather than a brand mark.
Clicker Wonderland has a free account — a one-click sign-in link by email, or Google, and no password to remember — and it is asked for only when you download, never to design. Free while we’re in beta — try it now, and help us make it better. Designing runs in your own browser and your picture stays on your computer until you download a printable file.
What you may do with them
Our published models are released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0. Print them, print them for friends, remix them, publish the remix under the same licence with credit. Do not sell them or things printed from them.
A design you make yourself in the app is a different case. Our Terms of Service say it plainly: you keep ownership of everything you upload and everything you design, and we claim nothing in it.
Questions
Are the fidget clicker files really free?
Yes. The models we publish on Printables and MakerWorld are free to download from those sites. That is a separate thing from Clicker Wonderland, the browser tool that made them: the tool needs a free account to download, though not to design, and it is free while we are in beta.
What is actually in the download?
A printable file for the two parts of the clicker with the colour regions already assigned, so a multi-material printer paints it without any work in the slicer. On MakerWorld there is also a verified print profile, which is the exact project we printed ourselves. What you supply is one MX-style mechanical keyboard switch.
3MF or STL — which one do I want?
3MF, unless your slicer cannot open one. A 3MF is a single file holding both parts, laid out on the plate, with the colours attached. An STL carries geometry and nothing else, so a set of STLs prints fine and arrives without any colour information at all.
Do I need an account to download the models?
Not from us. Printables and MakerWorld each have their own rules about downloading, and those are theirs rather than ours. Clicker Wonderland, the tool, does have a free account.
Can I sell clickers printed from your published models?
No. Our published models are released under Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0, which permits printing, remixing and sharing with credit, and not selling. A clicker you design yourself in Clicker Wonderland is a different case: our Terms of Service say you keep ownership of everything you upload and everything you design, and we claim nothing in it.
Can I put my own picture on one?
That is what the tool is for. Drop a photograph or an image file into Clicker Wonderland and the outline of the artwork becomes the outline of the button, with the colours in the picture becoming the colours the printer lays down. A child’s drawing, a logo, a pet, a name in your own handwriting.
Is there a keychain-sized version?
The tool makes one: choose the 42 mm Keychain size and the keychain loop switches on with it, and you can drag the loop around the rim to sit where you want it. Whether a published listing carries a keychain variant depends on the listing, because we do not upload a size we have not printed ourselves.
What do I need to buy?
One MX-style mechanical keyboard switch per clicker. Cherry MX, Gateron and Kailh BOX all fit the same 14 mm plate cutout, and they cost a few ringgit each. A clicky switch such as a Kailh BOX White is the loudest. Nothing else — no screws, no glue, unless you add a magnet pocket or a badge pin.
