An inner cone passes right through an outer one and neither of them comes apart - that is the whole trick, and it prints as a single piece. Roll it in your hands and the two bodies slide past each other, which is the part that keeps fingers busy. Printed in two colours the cones separate in the eye and the pass-through reads as impossible; printed in one it looks like a solid cone until it moves. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A snake, printed flat as one piece: 9.8" from nose to tail, no supports anywhere, and off the plate in about an hour by its designer's own estimate. It prints lying on the plate, so the whole thing is one layer stack rather than a tower that can topple. Shown as a render, not a photo.

A 3x3 clicker pad: nine keys on one printed body, each on its own spring, so the whole thing clicks under a thumb like a tiny keyboard. 2.6" square, printed in one piece with nothing to assemble. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Two bands that print as one piece: the finned outer ring's ridge sits in the inner band's groove, so it is locked on but free to spin, with no bearings and nothing to assemble. The groove is a BALL RACE - a circular channel, with the ridge as the same circle held 0.4 mm off it - so the surfaces the two parts face each other across are vertical, which is what lets it print in place and still turn. The ring is 27 mm across and stands 7 mm, and the fins are trapezoids: wide where they join the sleeve, narrow at the tip, so nothing on it is a blade waiting to be knocked. It comes in three sizes, 16.5 mm (US 6), 18.2 mm (US 8) and 19.8 mm (US 10) across the finger hole, all at the same price, and the download is a 3MF with a plate for each, so you can print whichever fits - or all three. Print it with a brim and z-hop switched on: a small ring has a small footprint, and z-hop keeps a moving nozzle clear of what is already printed. The STL on its own is the smallest of the three. The photo is a render of the printable model - real photos of the print go up once the first batch comes off the printer.

A phone stand with a woodgrain surface that all but disappears behind the phone, so what you see is the screen standing on the desk rather than the stand holding it. A deep groove with a lipped front edge takes a phone upright for video calls or on its side for standBy and night-clock mode, and it fits anything from a small handset up to a Pro Max. Printed in PLA at 0.2 mm layers, 15% infill, no supports. It is designed for a wood-fill filament, which gives it the grain it is named for, though any matte colour prints just as well. The picture is a render of the printable model - real photographs of the print go up once the first one is made.

A clicker keychain with four buttons that press and click, printed in place so nothing needs assembling. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Print3DFamilyFidgets

A hexagonal fidget that prints flat in a few minutes and clicks between your fingers - no supports, no assembly, no settings to tune. 2.0" across. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by LangHjornArt

A flat key tag that holds the key by its bow rather than its ring, so it lies flat in a pocket and does not rattle. 2.2" long, about 1 g of plastic, printed in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Ten layered fidget discs off one plate - each about 3" across, each with its own cut-through pattern and its own way of spinning and clicking. Pick the design you want; the picture on each chip is that disc. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by PenguinPrototypes

A pocket divot tool with a ball marker that sits in the handle: the fork lifts the green back into shape, the marker pops out to mark your line. 2.7" long, printed as two pieces. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by bitclicker

A thin blade for digging the lint out of a phone's charging port, with a hook at one end and a flat scraper at the other. 34 mm long and a fraction of a gram, so it prints three at a time in a minute - one for the desk, one for the car, one to lose. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by eclien

A ball that screws into its own cage - the thread holds it, and it spins from one end to the other without ever coming free. 3.9" tall, printed in place in two pieces that come off the plate already assembled. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by Elaak

A beer crate for batteries, scaled down to sit on a shelf: stacked sides, a slotted top and a handle you can actually lift it by. Holds a row of AA or AAA cells - pick which, they are separate crates. About 2.7" long. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by JSBallpython

A hook remover with a forked end for backing a hook out and a flat end for pushing it through - the tool that means you do not put your fingers near the point. 4.8" long, printed flat in one piece. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by eclien

A ruler that folds: nineteen 160 mm segments that hinge end to end, plus the two end caps, so it measures a room and then folds down to a pocket. The full set is 19 segments; the smaller option is the same design at 70 per cent, which is the one for a desk drawer. Shown as a render, not a photo.

Design by PenguinPrototypes

A frog that jumps: press its back and it springs off the table, and the pond bowl catches it. Pick the frog on its own or the bowl with it - the bowl is 5" across, and three frogs fit on one plate if you want a set. Shown as a render, not a photo.
