You can now produce entertaining plinking and plonking melodies reminiscent of classic game themes with a simple finger sweep, thanks to innovative 3D-printed fidget toys.

Each toy is designed to create a series of tines, which are assembled into a musical device that lets users play notes by sliding a tab across the top. The end result yields surprisingly delightful sounds from familiar game tunes.

Maker World’s designer, Kida, has made available various print designs that allow you to create multiple themes—including hits from Pac-Man, Super Mario Bros., Undertale, and Minecraft.

While these fidget toys can bring smiles and nostalgia, they might also drive family members a little bit crazy with their repeat play of catchy tunes. So, they can make for fantastic gifts for the gaming enthusiast in your life!

With the upcoming holiday season, this is a perfect chance to dive into 3D printing, and the toy’s design allows for custom modifications to add unique tunes. Individuals even might enjoy the challenge of crafting them from Xenon 2: Megablast themes—a daunting yet rewarding task!

These toys serve as a fun and creative introduction to 3D printing, making them wonderful projects for aspiring makers.
