3d Print Design For A Fidget Spinner

Fidget Spinners suddenly emerged this spring to become the biggest gadget trend of 2017.

Part of the craze around any fidget spinner is they are about as simple and inexpensive as can be. Basically, these are small, ball-bearing devices you can rotate between your fingers, which means they don't require gross body movements; The challenge of tossing, transferring and twirling the spinners has spawned an entire universe of instructional YouTube videos.

The momentum of the toy provides a pleasing sensory experience, according to users reviews, and m any sources even claim fidget spinners provide potential relief for some people who suffer from anxiety and attention deficit disorders. Depending on the version you get, the fidget spinner could keep spinning for a few minutes in your hand, either placing it on a table and put it to spin away. However, not everyone is a fan of the fidget spinner; Schools in several states have already banned the toys, claiming they're "too distracting for classrooms".

Personally, I found them really funny and visually distracting so I can not tell whether a fidget spinner is a relaxing tool or a Toy.

The Spinners List

You can buy most versions for less that $5 (although some made with copper or other metals can be much pricier). But, why purchasing when you can 3D print it?
Better start trying with one of the designs in the list below and tell us your experience!

Print your own fidget spinner and use it while you're working, hanging out with friends or trying to relax!

I included some videos showing how fidget spinners work so you can easily make a choice of your favorite. Every single design in the list comes with a briefly description and a link to download the printable file(s). Most of them have free download version (you'll find most free version designs on the second half of the list below).

I must clear Not all designs are 100% printable. There are some parts needed that are not 3D Printable so I'll let you guys know in that case. Other few are designs available on Amazon.

Finally, the "bearing" is 7mm tall. There are 3 different versions. A loose version (called "bearing"), a tighter version ("bearing-tighter"), and a version with 4 cutouts ("bearing-slots").

Too lose and the gears will slip and bind, too tight and it won't move well.
