Wiggly (?) Spinner Fidget

thingiverse

I wondered if adjusting the weights on these fidget spinners would make a difference. I'm not great at physics, so either my calculations or the screws I used as weights weren't heavy enough, meaning the offset of mass is too small for any significant effect. However, I did notice a slight change in behavior when I shifted the weights around. So, I thought I'd share this idea here and see if anyone has any suggestions to improve it. A few hours later: Okay, I've messed around with this thing some more, and it's definitely harder to balance on one finger when the bolts are out of balance. You could adjust the level of difficulty on the spinner by adjusting the weight. I'll try using heavier weights next time.

Maybe I'll try using bigger nuts in the future.
