A charming Valentine's fidget spinner made almost entirely from hearts!
Featuring an outer ring, sun gear and 3 planetary gears with interlocking heart shaped teeth! At its center, is a big heart carrier embossed with yet more hearts which rotates with the gears.
This colour combo inspired by Squashies, but feel free to print in whatever colour combinations you fancy and be sure to share your colour combos below! The included profile only requires 2 colour changes, but you can also tweak the layer height of the colour changes or do a full colour print for an alternative look:
Printing
I advise to print as per the included profiles:
Tolerances are tight, so for best results please calibrate and dry your filament before printing
Assembly / Post Processing
This is a print in place spinner so no assembly is required.
However, there are some very tight tolerances so you may need to carefully release the gears before turning them. There should be a bit of play in each gear from top to bottom so start by wiggling them up and down in relation to the white central heart. Once they are all free, hold the central gear and gently rotate the outer ring back and forth to release any stuck points. You should then be able to start spinning!
It will improve with use and I found a tiny drop of oil applied to the underside of each gear helps.
