Six shooter fidget spinner

cults3d

I came up with my Cinco hand spinner fidget after being left with six bearings when I made one of the many triple fidget spinners. Since bigger is always better, I realized the next step was to go to six outer bearings, and with six outer bearings, what better idea than a revolver cylinder homage? This doesn't serve any purpose other than being the next step bigger, which itself is an homage to the ridiculous escalation that happens in any consumer product. Whether it's megapixels in cameras or gigahertz in processors or whatever, we always need more even after sailing right past all we really needed. It's pretty darn big, and I still prefer the original triple spinner, but hey, it's something different. I've included a spinner button with a shoulder to stand the main body off of the bearing. I noticed that the buttons I had originally printed would occasionally rub on the bearing and slow it down, so I added a stepped shoulder to prevent that, and made the overall diameter slightly larger. My button design isn't all that good - it's hard to print, and the size of the shaft is a little too small to make it a press fit into the bearing. Because of this, I recommend skipping my end caps altogether and checking out some awesome designs available here. Thanks to malakid who posted a print and linked to cool bullseye caps which fit nicely with the theme of the "six shooter" spinner itself.
