Airsoft Bead Bearing Fidget Spinner

thingiverse

Duplicate Post since the first doesn't show up on my profile. Printed on the prusa mini at 0.2mm layer height. To add the beads to the print you will need to pause the print partway through. In order to identify where to stop the print I have added two holes in the model found along the groove shown in the image. The first hole(around 7.8mm z height for the 6mm beads model) is when the opening is exactly the width of the bead. The second is when the bead will no longer stick up at all. I recommend adding a pause at the first which should allow you to insert the beads then continue printing. I do recommend turning the part cooling fan down for the first couple layers as it can blow the beads around and even out of the print. The groove on the inside of the bearing is to reduce the chance of a bump being present where the seam is located. The groove may not be present with the default "slice gap closing radius" value on prusaslicer(found under advanced/print settings). I have included the fusion 360 files in case anyone wants to mess with the design.
