The Fidget Masterpiece: A Stunning Spinner for the Daring Engineer. I'm thrilled to share my first-ever fidget spinner design, and after a series of prints, I'm absolutely delighted with the result. This well-balanced spinner is both versatile and eye-catching, making it a true masterpiece. Two versions are available: one with a fillet around the outer edge and another without. Both look amazing once finished. This spinner is compatible with 608 bearings of any type, but I highly recommend using Bones Red bearings for optimal performance. To prepare my spinner for spinning, I cleaned it out with WD40 followed by an isopropyl alcohol bath, resulting in a smooth spin that lasted about 1 minute and 30 seconds. The bearings can be pressed into place using a vice (I used a Pan-A-Vice), and once secure, they stay put unless subjected to extreme force. To avoid damaging the spinner or the bearings, I strongly advise against tapping them in with a hammer, especially when printing in PLA. It's essential to exercise caution during assembly. If you have any suggestions or constructive criticism, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section. Your input is invaluable, and I'm always eager to learn and improve. Print Settings: Printer Brand: Prusa Printer Model: Prusa Clone Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.1 mm Infill: 50%-100% Notes: I highly recommend printing with a 0.1 mm layer height for an aesthetically pleasing finish. Additionally, be aware that the design may shrink by a factor of 10 when converting from Autodesk Inventor to Cura, so scaling it up to 1000% might be necessary. Design Process: This fidget spinner was designed using Autodesk Inventor 2015, my go-to CAD software.
