Most fidget toys I printed are quite nice, but too noisy for an office environment. The magnetic ones I found all weren't exactly what I wanted, so I just designed my own. This magnet fidget uses 14 magnets, Ø6x3mm. To have it moving smooth and quiet it has a 608 bearing for the axis. I would recommend a 0.4 Nozzle, and an extrusion width of around 0.4 to get the pins to print well. If your printer is reasonably dialed in you won't need any glue. Just carefully press in the magnets, making sure to have the orientation correct, then press in the bearing. Afterwards put the gear in one side of the case, align all pins properly and evenly press the case halves together. In case the tolerances of your printer are too loose just use a drop of glue on each pin. edit: added a second file for the case that has tighter tolerances. After my testing this works even nicer, but you need to have your printer properly dialed in for it to fit.
