Description
Upgraded version of my other spinner and what I've been using for the past couple years. Gcode file includes verbose output for Octolapse and 2 color changes at the first and last 5 layers. I'd only recommend printing this in PETG or stronger materials as every one I've printed in PLA has thrown a ball or shattered when dropped.
Uses a standard 608 skateboard bearing for the center and 1/2in. (12.67mm according to calipers) ball bearings for the outer weights.
It's all press-fit with tolerances based on my Prusa Mini and the readings from my caliper. No supports, default slicer settings. Had to use a fair amount of force to seat the bearing in the center and sandwiched it between another flat print and my table to try to avoid breaking those braces. the ball bearings just snapped into place in the outer holders.
The thumb rest is sized to fit the backside of the bearing collar so it's kinda small for the front side.
