Alliance Spinner

thingiverse

Decided I'd jump on the bandwagon and make a couple of spinners as well. I recommend printing them in blue, then painting the lions yellow or gold for a more vibrant look. You could also easily change the color to yellow for the top 0.6mm for added contrast. To ensure a solid layer just below the lion heads, I set a solid infill layer on for the layer below the lions. This prevents spots like the lion's cheeks from printing above no infill support. The bearing and nuts should press fit without any need for glue, as should the thumb grips. If the axle isn't a tight fit for your bearing, you can manually scale it up in your slicer or add small layers of super glue and/or paper to tighten the fit. For the weights, I used 11mm steel nuts, three per wing. You can easily add or remove weights to fit your weight preference, just be sure to keep it balanced! Oh, and make sure to print using supports! Let me know what you think in the comments if you have any other Blizzard-themed spinners you'd like to see.
