This is a printable model of the classic begleri greek toy. There are some designs out there but I wanted to use the hex nuts available locally so I designed these.
Just print it, insert M4 or M8 hex nuts, use shoelaces/parachord to keep it tight in both sides and in the two beads and you are done. Google for 'begleri' and see some videos, you won't regret. This is a GREAT toy if you like fidgets. As you just need two of this little beads, 6 M4 nuts (or more depending on the weight you want) and an old shoelace this is really CHEAP, quick and easy to make. Why not give it a chance? Be warned: playing with this is very addictive and funny!!
No support required for print, bridging works Ok for the small gap.
Enjoy!
UPDATE (18-MAY-2017): Redesigned M8 model to be slightly smaller, normally just a M8 hex nut is enough, otherwise you can hurt your hands easily if you're not an expert (ouch!).
