Helico: The World’s First Helical Gear Fidget Toy
Precision engineered with a unique herringbone profile, Helico delivers a ton of torque into the palm of your hand.
Helico has everything you could want from an executive desk toy; magnets, interlocking gears, bits that spin, striking visuals that intrigue the eye, and a gear you don't see outside of sports cars and hydroelectric dams.
Why Have We Created Helico?
We set out to create the ultimate desk toy. Injecting as many awesome features as physically possible, then stripping out anything that was overly complex or straight up didn't meet our stringent fiddle criteria. What's left are the best elements of every fidget toy you've ever owned. Bold, but we think true.
When you get bored of spinning, why not try some gear fiddling? Or maybe some new dexterity tricks? Failing that, you can annoy your colleagues with some clicky magnet action!
Who is it For?
Made for designers, engineers, thinkers. For anyone who wants to just take a moment to focus, relieve stress, or just play around.
Helico is easy to fiddle with but difficult to master!
We're constantly coming up with new tricks and ways to play with it.
New Material
The biggest visual change with Helico MK2 is the new sleek black material innovation. Our bespoke outer shell is made of Polyamide Nylon 12 which we have 3D printed to an incredible tolerance.
This new material means the Helico MK2 is more tactile, more satisfying and more mesmeric than ever. They’re more resilient and surface friendly; as users of the MK1 know they are often dropped (or flung!), so this will prevent dents and dings in your furniture.
Magnified Magnetism
You spoke, we listened. One of the loudest requests from the original version, Helico MK2 incorporates two magnets instead of the previous use of just one. It makes Helico MK2 far more resistant to coming apart, allowing for greater freedom of expression and a wider range of tricks.
Keeping up the high-quality you expect from us, the gold inserts are made from a High Tensile Brass that house two neodymium magnets that will last a lifetime.
Two Unique Designs
We weren't satisfied to bring you just an updated model, so we've gone one step further to give you a complete re-design to choose from or add to your collection. Thanks to our material innovation we've been able to mould Helico with a new form.
Herringbone
The classic look, a helical gear with a herringbone profile which interlocks with ultimate precision.
Spur
Named after the gear pattern we know and love, with a deep groove for those users who want an even greater tactile experience. The overlapping points provide an intense feeling through your fingers, giving you a full-on fidget feel factor.
Packs
Double Pack - Two sets of Herringbone or two sets or Spur.
Crossover Pack - A set of Herringbone and Spur each.
Ultimate Pack - Two sets of Herringbone and Spur each, for the metal mad magician.
Geared for Perfection - Why Herringbone?
The humble herringbone is designed to interlock unlike any other gear.
They engage and roll easily in the palm of your hand without the need of any fixed axis, so you can appreciate the mesmerising motion of the gears meshing together unlike anything else you can hold in your hand.
The interlocking gears present a whole new dimension for focusing your mind and testing your dexterity, while the tactile feedback keeps your mind focused on what's important.
So What's the Deal, Why Does it Cost This Much?
We like to go with the unusual at MetMo and, much like our EDM Cube project, Helico is no exception. To achieve the mesmerising meshing of Helico we opted to go for state of the art 3D printing for the outer shell, precision machined HTB1 brass inserts, and neodymium magnet cores. Each one handmade here in our Yorkshire workshop, these premium materials come together to create satisfaction in the palm of your hand.
Making Helico MK2
Check out the video above to see the making of a Helico brass insert by hand. Machined from solid brass in our workshop, this prototype was the first step of making Helico MK2 a reality.
