GridWave Slime – 5×5 Rectangular Twist Fidget

GridWave Slime is a compact print-in-place articulated fidget composed of 25 rectangular blocks arranged in a 5×5 grid. Each column flexes and shifts together, allowing the model to transform from a rigid rectangular form into a smooth cascading wave motion.

The design focuses on:

• Clean geometric appearance when idle • Smooth controlled bending motion • Strong structure with minimal wobble • Pocket-size tactile stress relief • Satisfying click-like micro-movement during twisting

Perfect for desks, classrooms, stress relief, or demonstration of simple mechanical articulation principles.
