I am happy to present the Magtire Fidget.This little thing is way more entertaining than it looks at first glance.The Magtire Fidget is made from two small tire-shaped pieces that snap together and roll around each other in a smooth, controlled motion. It’s not a traditional spinner — it has this satisfying magnetic “orbit” feeling that makes you want to keep it moving.As you roll it between your fingers, there’s a subtle pull and the alignment makes each rotation feel guided and intentional. The tire tread adds a nice bit of grip, and the whole thing has a mechanical, almost gear-like feel without actually being complicated.It’s simple, tactile, and surprisingly addictive. It’s small enough to keep on your desk, toss in your pocket, or fidget with during a long call. Great for staying focused, thinking through ideas, or just keeping your hands busy. If you enjoy prints that feel interactive rather than just decorative, this one delivers. It’s a quick project, but the end result feels polished and satisfying — the kind of print you’ll actually keep using instead of just admiring once.Magnets are just so cool, and this fidget, utilizing 3 large neodymium magnets for each tire, creates some strong forces that are just fun to experiment and play around with when you are not just spinning. Multiple versions are available:3 designs for where the magnet is inserted during printing1 design for TPU where magnets are added after printing1 design without magnets Of these, my clear favourite is the TPU tires, which generates a smother more quiet fidgeting experience. PLA tires comes in as close second just being a bit louder. The non-magnet version is held together with a printed “clip” which works, but is not in any way comparable to the magnet versions. I know it takes a lot to order parts for a quick print like this, but it really is worth it for this model. The ultimate number of tires to print is 4 in my opinion as you can use all 4 to play in different ways. Magnets need
