Description

Since I had played with a gimbal mount lately I though some kind of handle would be nice, and that reminded me of control sticks on a game controller or remote control, and of fidget joysticks - so I added a spring and this is the result.

Printing: 0.4mm nozzle, standard settings. 
I suggest applying fuzzy skin on the outside of the body.
I also used variable layer height on the top of the yellow stick to manually reduce layer height to about 0.1mm there, so it fells smoother.

Assembly: Loosen PIP ball joint on spring part. Stick spring center rod into gimbal (use glue if necessary). Screw gimbal with spring into base.
