Materials 12x 6×2 mm MagnetsBuy on Amazon 1x 608 Ball Bearing (spinner-grade recommended) Buy on Amazon Glue (for securing magnets)(Optional) Lubricant (to reduce break-in time)Printing Prints in 3 pieces . The main body and handle have there own color selector and print individually on the same plate to save time and filament with AMS. Create your own colorway by matching different filament to each color group. Use the AMS for multicolor, make it single color by selecting the same filament twice, or print parts separately. Use your fanciest or shiniest filaments for best results. Designed to be printed at a 0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle. Printing times are around 1 Hour (0.2mm layer height with a 0.4mm nozzle). Assembly Separate the armor plates from the main body and wiggle them until they move smoothly. Magnets - Magnet cutouts are found on the inside of the plate and correspond to a magnet hole on the outside of the main body.Magnets cutouts are countersunk to avoid the magnets from ever touching. You should expect a gap between the magnet and the surface. Glue in the magnets. Be super careful to get the polarity right! Ball Bearing - Push the Ball Bearing into the middle of the center cutout.Handles - push the “plug” side of the handle through the center of the ball bearing.Push the “socket” side onto the plug. Start using your spinner. You may need to loosen up the armor hinges a little for it to work smoothly. It will Improve with time and use.
