Fidget Flower with bearing re-done

<p>This is a remix of <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2344778">Fidget Flower with bearings by craeen</a></p> <p>I love the idea of hiding weights inside a fidget spinner, especially when using nuts. However, after printing the original flower I quickly realized that it was not well balanced. I opened the design in SketchUp and found that the design has no symmetry (some petals are longer, some petals are closer together, etc.). Also, the nuts moved around a tiny bit in their cavity.</p> <p>I redesigned the flower "from scratch" using the look of the original, while making each of the five petals symmetrical. I also converted the inner cylinders into the hex shape of the 5/16" nuts. The center post helps with bridging across the cavity.</p> <h3> Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Geeetech Prusa i3 Pro C</p> <p><p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p><p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>0.2mm</p></div><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>100%</p> <p><br/> <p class="detail-setting notes"><strong>Notes: </strong> </p><div><p>The print must be paused at 8mm to place the 5/16" nuts.</p></div></p> </p></p> Category: Toys &amp; Games
