Description
This custom-designed insert serves as a weight for fidget spinners and is engineered to hold four U.S. pennies. It is modeled to match the dimensions of a standard 608 skate bearing, providing a comparable weight and balance.
This design offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional bearings while maintaining similar performance characteristics.
If your 3D printer is properly calibrated, the model should fit seamlessly into any space designed for a 608 bearing without the need for scaling.
To verify the fit of the pennies, you can download the test model and check that the coins fit securely within the weight before printing the full version.
Ensure you program a pause in the print process to allow for the insertion of the pennies into the weight, before resuming the print to seal them in place.
