9 Gear Fidget Spinner

August 27, 2017
Description
This is an attempt to make a 3D printed version of the 9 Gear Fidget Spinner. I'm sure the machined fidget spinner will spin better, but we want to print our own, right?
I offer 2 bearing options: 695 bearing (ID = 5mm, OD = 13mm, t = 4mm) or 1150ZZ (ID = 5mm, OD = 11mm, t = 4mm) bearing. I recommend the 695 bearing; the bearing used or the video is also 695. I have uploaded the files for the 1150ZZ version as well, since my first prototype was based on 1150ZZ.
Items to print:
- 1x Center Gear
- 8x Gear (Choose from 695 or 1150 version)
- 1x Top Gear Frame (Choose from 695 or 1150 version)
- 1x Bottom Gear Frame (Choose from 695 or 1150 version)
- 1x Top End Cap
- 1x Bottom End Cap
Items to Purchase:
- 10x 695 bearing or 1150ZZ bearing
- 4x 15mm M3 Flat Head Counter Sunk bolt
- 1x 20mm M3 Flat Head Counter Sunk bolt
- 5x M3 Nut
For assembly, refer to the assembly image or follow the assembly video at https://youtu.be/73aq4J0pjIE.
Update:
The 8 outer gears are compatible with my Planetary Gear Fidget Spinner. Any leftovers can be used here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2744194.
