The wheels are a built-in fidget spinner! Don't believe me?? I challenge you NOT to spin the wheels when it's sitting in front of you (I guarantee everyone who picks it up will spin the wheels! Usually before they open the lid). You can't not spin them. You will spin them. You must spin them. The wheels must be spun.
My wheels are printed with TPU for AMS. I recommend using TPU as it just adds an extra somethin' somethin' to the print.
Any 608 bearings may be used, but the Open Hybrid Ceramic bearings are recommended. They look cool, they spin forever, and they do NOT leak lubricant onto your build plate.👍
WHEEL NOTES:
The included print profile pauses at Layer 61 (12.2mm) for bearing insertion.
Make sure you have bearings on-hand prior to printing the wheels! You won't be able to (easily) add them after printing; as they will be encapsulated by a hexagon as shown in the following image:
I recommend using the Maker's Supply 608 Open Hybrid Ceramic bearings. They spin forever and they look so much cooler! I know they're not cheap… but you won't regret getting the nicer bearings once you have them installed and give them a spin.😉
This was a lot of fun to design, assemble, and use! Guaranteed to be the perfect statement piece for your workspace (almost everyone that sees it on my desk wants one of their own).
MANY uses, here's a few:
