Desktop vortex spinner

thingiverse

Here's a relaxing desktop toy / fidget spinner that could give your head a much needed break. Simply spin the toy and watch as the groove seems to just rise from the desk or disappear into the desk. Print multiples or print one regular and one DeskToyCapCounter, then spin, stack and watch as the grooves collide or separate. This is also a way to breathe new life into those old fidget spinners bearings. Material needed: * 5x poor performing 608 bearings * 1x high performance (fast and long spin) 608 bearing * 1x Plastic spray (optional) Assembly: 1. Insert the hight performance bearing into the base of the body until only 1mm of the bearing is exposed. 2. Insert the 5 poor performing bearings from the top of the body. 3. Install the outer cap to the body, taking care not to snap off the peg on the insides of the cap. 4. Spray multiple thin coats of plastic spray to the underside of the base (optional). 5. Install the outer cap and body to the base. Check out this video for a demonstration: https://youtu.be/gRpCx-Roouc Inspired by a kickstarter project.
