Clicker Board Maker: a grid of 3D printable fidget clickers
The Clicker Board takes the single fidget clicker and lays a whole grid of them into one base. Every button is a real, independent clicker, with its own switch cavity, its own cap and its own artwork, arranged on the plate and ready to print as one multicolor piece.
How it works
- Add a clicker for each button, from an image, a logo, an emote or a word.
- Set the grid: how many across and down, and the spacing between them.
- Each button gets its own switch cavity in the shared base and its own printable cap.
- Export the multicolor 3MF, with the base as one piece and the caps laid out beside it.
What it does that the others do not
Every button is real
Not a picture of a board. Each position is a working clicker with its own switch cavity and cap, so the whole thing actually clicks.
One shared base
The buttons sit in a single base that prints as one piece, so there is nothing to assemble beyond dropping in the switches and caps.
Different art per button
Give each button its own logo, emote or word, or repeat one across the grid. Every position is independent.
Laid out for you
The base and all the caps are arranged on the plate ready to slice, colors already split to their filament slots.
What people make with it
A desk of fidgets
A row or grid of clickers to keep on the desk, each one a different logo or mood.
A gift set in one print
A single print that gives someone a whole set of themed clickers, not just one.
A branded panel
A board of one logo repeated, or a set of team or community emotes, as a giveaway or a booth piece.
A macro pad feel
The look of a keypad of satisfying buttons, with no electronics, just the click.
Recommended print settings
- Each cavity is sized for a Cherry MX switch to click into. If your switches sit tight or loose, the same fit notes as the single clicker apply.
- The base prints flat as one piece, and the caps print separately and travel on the switch stems, so no glue is needed.
- A larger board wants a bed that fits it. Check the plate size against your printer before committing a long print.
- Colors are split to filament slots automatically. On an AMS or MMU, load the palette it lists; on a single extruder, print by color or accept one color.
Questions
How many buttons can a board have?
As many as fit on the plate. Each one gets its own switch cavity and its own cap, and they are laid out for you.
Can each button be a different image?
Yes. Every position on the board is its own clicker, so you can give each one a different logo, emote or word, or repeat one across the whole grid.
Do the switches and caps print as separate pieces?
Yes, the same as a single clicker: the base with its switch cavities prints as one piece, and each cap prints separately so it can travel on the switch. Nothing needs glue.
What switches does it fit?
Cherry MX and MX compatible switches, the same as the single Fidget Clicker. Each cavity is sized for a standard switch to click into.
Is a board harder to print than a single clicker?
No, just bigger. It is the same geometry repeated on one base, so if a single clicker prints well on your machine, a board of them will too. It only asks for more plate space and more time.
Also called
People look for this as a clicker board, a fidget board, a multi clicker, a clicker panel or a fidget button board. It is the single clicker, multiplied into one printable base.
