Description
Fidget Spinners are a popular toy all around the world… this design provides the same ability to ‘fidget’ as any other ‘Fidget spinner’ however it is a one-piece-print with no metal bearings required. It should be almost ready to spin straight off the build plate!
The design features four designed in bearings. With a well sliced file printed on an accurate / precise machine the bearings should be free or take very little effort to break free straight off the build plate. As soon as the bearings have been freed add a small amount of lubricant to the moving bearing surfaces (refer images) and you’re in business… ready to give your ‘Fidget Spinner’ a good spin. Is it as good as a spinner with metal bearings… probably not but they should still spin very well and are definitely fun to fidget with!
You can spin your Fidget Spinner in several ways… a smooth running spinner can be spun in just one hand by holding it in the center then flicking one of the arms from the top or bottom… or you can get a faster spin by hitting one of the arms with a finger on you other hand. As there are four bearings designed in you can also hold one of the outer bearings and flick the spinner around using them instead of the center bearing.
