What is MiniForge Clicker Studio?

Clicker Studio builds a fidget clicker around real Cherry MX-style keyboard switches. You start with the artwork on the cap: an icon from a large library, text, your own image or SVG, or a small keyboard layout. Then you pick the base shape (follow the artwork outline, rounded square, circle, hexagon, heart or star), the size, the cap and body heights and one to three switches, and you can add a keychain loop.

The fit settings are what make it print well: you set the gap between cap and body, the stem socket and the switch pocket clearance, and a free fit test prints five stem sockets so you can find the right value for your printer first. A live 3D preview shows the clicker assembled, exploded, pressed or cut away, and you choose the body and cap colors.

Exports are STL or a multicolor Bambu 3MF and need a Google sign-in, with 10 free designs a day for personal use. It suits people who want a desk fidget with their own logo or initials.
