5p 5 spoke spinner

thingiverse

After making several spinners based on downloads from Thingiverse, I tasked my kids with designing one they'd love. They had their work cut out for them, but I was eager to see what they came up with. I picked up a bunch of skateboard bearings and got thinking about other ways to add weight to each spoke. There are plenty of spinners using coins on Thingiverse, but none caught my eye that used UK 5p pieces. That's exactly why I chose the 5p coin over the 1p, 2p, or 20p. This is what we came up with. My kids are thrilled, and they're happy to call it their own – although I'm not so sure about getting my coins back anytime soon!
