I've got silver and copper color filament to use up.
The gear cube is fine, I'd just like a little more variety.
I tried one of those "fidget spiral toy" things where the two halves slide into each other, but the arms would snap off with just a little pressure, so that's an example of something that won't work for this. No flexy animals either, since the joint linkages would be far too thin. I already tried an octopus and it came apart just from shaking it.
I've been scrolling the popular stuff on Thingiverse, but nothing is jumping out at me.
