Tri Gear Cog Fidget Spinner Experiment

thingiverse

Visit http://fidgetexpert.com/best-spinners/ for more of my projects. UPDATE3: FULLY WORKING VERSION IS OUT! Look for the TriCogSpinnerUpdated.zip or download them separately! Note that some sanding is required to get the perfect fit, so use metal washers on top and bottom of bearings to let them spin freely. UPDATE 2: New design is up, check the folder called TriCogSpinner.zip. Next up is making a version with cogs more visible. Printing it now, but be aware that some things may not fit properly yet. UPDATE: I figured out how to make the cogs spin around the center cog using two bearings and leaving the center cog without a bearing. Currently, it's only a dual spinner, but I'm working on a tri version soon. I'll also try to make it smaller as it's pretty big now. READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING! I just realized that this won't function like a normal fidget spinner unless the center cog is stationary, and sadly I don't know how to achieve this yet. Any ideas? I saw a cool fidget spinner the other day so I started recreating it. This one uses cogs or gears to spin around, as well as skateboard bearings. I haven't printed it yet, but I included the source file if anyone wants to experiment more. I'll update with pics and videos in a couple of days.
