Squishy Block is a soft, elastic fidget toy inspired by building blocks and bubble wrap, printed in flexible TPU. It is free to download on MakerWorld, needs no supports and gives a uniquely satisfying squish.
What it is
Unlike real bubble wrap, the Squishy Block never runs out. Its extra softness comes from a combination of tuned infill and a subtle air chamber effect, which gives a springy, cushion-like feel every time you press it. It is durable, washable and endlessly reusable.
- Made for flexible TPU, with a soft, bouncy texture.
- Extra squishy thanks to the air chamber and tuned infill.

What it is for
