Six shooter fidget spinner

thingiverse

I came up with my Cinco hand spinner fidget when I had six bearings left over after making 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 an homage to a revolver cylinder? This doesn't serve any purpose other than being the next step bigger, which is in itself an homage to the ridiculous escalation that always happens in any consumer product. Whether it's megapixels in cameras or gigahertz in processors or whatever, we always need more even after we sail right past all that 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 which has 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 the 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. To print this thing, you'll need: A Monoprice Maker Ultimate printer No rafts or supports Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 100% Notes: I printed at 0.1mm because I messed up and forgot to switch to 0.2mm. There's no reason for this thing to have such a fine Z resolution. With 6 bearings in the perimeter and a solid frame, this thing spins longer than anything else I've printed.
