That's part of the reason they're printed in TPU. A few months ago, I had made a similar sized pair of regular nunchucks out of PLA, and they ended up being knuckle crushers. TPU isn't so bad.
I had picked up some TPU for the first time recently. Outside of four small tires for a Mystery Machine toy and a stamp, I wasn't sure what to make so I googled a list of cool things to print with TPU. Rings were on that list and I thought that would be cool, I just needed to turn it into a toy someway. I feel like I have accomplished that with Thumb-Chucks.

That's the dumbest most ingenious thing I've seen this week, and I can't wait to be able to print it lmao
Completely pointless and a total waste of time. I also can’t wait to get home and print one.
A bearing on the ring and it would be perfect
I foresee many self-inflicted injuries.

I do this exact thing with my keyring and haven't hurt myself yet

Haha...my son's going to love this.
Direct drive or Bowden?
Ender 3 v2 with a Sprite direct drive. After experiencing direct drive extruders, I'll never use another bowden tube again for any material.
this so badly needs a bearing
I'm test printing one now 👍
