Golden Snitch Fidget Spinner

thingiverse

I'm still quite new at this, but I noticed a significant shortage of Harry Potter themed fidgets - and the one I found was rather large for adult hands - so I decided to create a few to share with everyone. As a Chapter Organizer of a community-based Harry Potter Alliance chapter, I'd be thrilled if these fidget spinners were spread throughout the HPA. Feel free to use them for fundraising purposes for HPA groups or other educational non-profits, but please don't sell them for profit. Designed in TinkerCAD and printed on a New Matter MOD-t (I used the fast pre-sets on the white one in the photo), I've found that using a 22.55mm opening size is ideal for the bearing - anything smaller requires a hammer to get it in, while anything bigger causes the bearing to fall out. At this size, you can easily push the bearing into place with your thumbs and secure it by pressing on a table; it's also removable with some effort but unlikely to pop out. My designs for spinners aren't weighted, as my husband learned the hard way when he lost control of one he made with nuts in the arms and nearly hit our baby on the head. If you'd like to add ball bearings to this design, go ahead and do it yourself - just don't ask me to do it, Mama says no.
