#####Are there too many fidget spinners laying around your house?
#####Did you print them, buy them or got them as a gift?
#####Are you bored spinning them in your hand?
#####Why not convert one or two of them to a regular spinning top? :-)
- should work for every fidget spinner with a 608 center bearing and a standard thickness
- swap the center bearing for one of my support free printed converters
- spinning top!
- had the idea a while back, but it took some time to "get it right"
- I made many designs and options to choose from
- haven´t seen anything like this yet, and I really wanted to see if it would work
- modeled in Fusion 360, model units are [mm]
#####I know there are a lot of different files, so here is a little guide for you to choose the correct ones:
- every filename consists of 3 blocks divided by an underline "_"
- look at the "design type" picture to choose a design you like, this defines the first block
- look at the "tip type" picture to choose a printed pointy tip, or an inserted steel ball as tip, this defines the second block (Steel balls work great for hard surfaces like glass or metal)
- Choose if you want to print the converter in one part, standing up (brim recommended) or consisting of multiple parts for easier printing, this defines the third block
- bottom parts for multipart versions are the same for all designs, you just need to choose the tip type. Ball tip type does not need a pin for alignment.
- modeled to press fit into the empty 608 pockets
- if the fit is not right for you, try scaling the model +/- 1%, or use a layer of tape to increase pressure
- modeled to fit 13mm diameter steel balls and 1/2" steel balls (_inch models)
- Please let me know if you have any problems with the models
- I plan on creating more designs in the future
