Magnetic, Interchangeable Spinner

pinshape

Watch the Demo Build Here: Yes, the world is burned out on Spinners, they had their day - and it's gone. That said, this one is truly a clever concept. Wish I could say it was my idea, but it was my daughters (age 13), I just made the pieces work. What's different about this one: The addictive SNAP of the magnets as the two halves click together The mini spinner embedded inside can be a standalone finger spinner The cool pushbutton action when you press on the bearing if the spinner is laying flat. Useless feature, but fun to press the button It has three unique components, you need all three to make one spinner.  The two halves are mirror opposites. Prints are simple and fast Try the Wobble spinner here:  https://pinshape.com/items/105... This is a fun 3D printing project because its something usable, tradeable, highly interchangeable, and fits into a pocket or  backpack.  It's not just a figurine, it has functionality.  Printing Tips for PLA: No supports 20-30% infill for upper and lower halves 40-50% infill for mini spinner inside (the rolling bearing presses into it, it needs to be a bit stronger) 0.15mm layer height on everything I recommend using glue on the heatbed, very thin, uniform layer  Other components you'll need: Eight .125" diameter by 0.125" long magnets  (my favorite place for ordering magnets is www.KJMagnetics.com) Four, 1/2" diameter ball bearings (these don't need to be precision) One, rolling bearing (608ZZ trade size) This is a just a common skateboard bearing.  Measure the outer diameter and make sure it's .866",  x .276" thick  (Just take one out of your other old spinners, it may be an exact fit) Cheers, Mark
