The Click ring v2

Updated v2 added!

The first version was one a bit delicate and could get small printing smudges that ruined it. Have been trying new ways of doing the click. 

This is the update and also have tried with PETG this time around. Ended up working nicely without grease. 

The Click ring

The idea today was to combine a ring with a "click!".

Drawn in Freecad, took way to many iterations to get tightness and the right click feel, but now it works!

Experimented with several print profiles and managed to make the print worse in some iterations, but attached settings worked. Needs to have fine layer setting to print the spring. Now have many prototypes that can be shared with friends and their children 😊

Bambu PLA silk looked nice in the ring part, but the pin broke immediately at assembly, but the button-spring worked well.

I put some PTFE spray grease on shaft and surface that the spring moves across to make the click movement smoother.

It needs some clicks to loosen up. I guess it is the scarf seam that needs to wear down.
