Sonic Zoetrope Spinner (READ DESCRIPTION)

This Sonic zoetrope spinner will have you spinning faster than the rings he's collecting. The 16 bit running animation on this spinner is one of my favorites for sure.

Important zoetrope viewing information:

The animations on these spinners cannot be seen with the naked eye.  The animations come to life when viewed using one of the methods below. Each shape on the spinner is a frame of animation. When spun and viewed correctly, the illusion of motion is revealed.

There are three ways to view the animations:

📱 Using your smartphone camera – View Instructions

💡 With a strobe light app – View Instructions

👁️ Through a handheld viewer – View Instructions

🧩 Bearing Requirement – IMPORTANT

To assemble your spinner, you’ll need one R188 bearing.

These are the top bearings we've tested and recommend:

🔗 Recommended R188 bearings (Amazon)

🔗 Alternate R188 bearings (Amazon)

If you can’t access either option, you’ll find a backup bearing listed in the Bambu Store Bill of Materials. Note: these work, but have slightly shorter spin times and are more expensive.
