Meet FidgSpin, A Cute Friendly Robot That Can Transform Into A Cubed Shaped Fidget Spinner. The Original Design For This Robot Came From Azraelho On Thingiverse. I Wasn't Happy With The Way The Two Body Halves Joined Together So I Beefed Them Up A Bit. Then I Had The Idea To Make Him A Fidget Spinner, So I Added Slots For 608 Bearings To Be Pressed Into The Arms. Despite The Weight Of The Cube Not Being Evenly Distributed, This Little Guy Spins Pretty Well. The Added Dimension On The Arms For The Bearings Does A Great Job Of Locking The Whole Guy Together So He Doesn't Fly Open As You Spin Him. For Assembly, You Will Have To Glue The Body Together. Glue On The Pins And The Tabs Is All You Need. You Will Need To Clamp Him Down As The Glue Dries. I've Included A Picture Of How I Clamped Him. I Used A Couple Of 2x2 Lego Bricks On His Crotch To Get A Good Grip With The Clamps. UPDATE 8/31/17: Fixed An Issue With The Left Arm. The Mesh Didn't Want To Act Right, So I've Updated The Left Arm And The Full Layout.
