Spinner Star Sturdier

thingiverse

I'm not a fan of fidget toys that fall apart easily, especially when the thumb holder keeps coming loose. I tried using glue, but it never seemed to hold up well for me. That's why I was excited to see M4jin's clever design and decide to make it work for my favorite spinner fidget toy! To ensure a perfect fit, I added a small lip to the back of the star, which gives me peace of mind knowing it will stay in place. The screw is also sized just right for these bearings. Getting this onto the star required some elbow grease – I needed a pair of pliers to get the job done! I made sure to screw on the female end just enough so that it would go on straight, then held the star with my hand while carefully turning the female end with the pliers until the male end was flush with the outer edge. Now, I'm confident that it will stay put – no matter what! Since I have a very specific fidgeting style, I decided to add the original thumb screws in red to each of the end bearings. It's not exactly authentic to the actual shield, but hey, this is how I roll! I want to extend my gratitude to M4jin and L1Terally for creating such amazing content – you guys are doing something right! Original Thumb Screw: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2274261
