Overview
The center hinge would break after 30-40 cycles, so i redesigned the center hinge as a revolute joint, i have also added an end stopper so it doesn't over bend. Less manufacturable compare to the original model, but ideal as a 3d printed fidget. The joint has a 0.25mm clearance.

Bistable Compliant SwitchThis bistable switch is an example of a compliant mechanism with a four-bar mechanism pseudo-rigid-body model. A contact force is created by causing the contacts to connect before the second stable equilibrium position is reached.
Rotational Binary Stiffness Compliant MechanismThese parts constitute a compliant mechanism that achieves two different states of stiffness by triggering a switch. The mechanism can be fully 3D printed.
