FIdget Spinner 608 Bearing Cap Snap In

thingiverse

Thanks to all the great users of this community, I have been able to make many really awesome things. I felt it was time I gave back. This idea came from this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2130642 While I did the design myself in OpenSCAD without any reverse engineering from the original, I really liked the orignal. My problem with the original was that it just didn't sit tightly enough in my bearings and would come out too easy. Also, I needed a higher lip under the thumb rest because of the design of my fidget spinner (slightly thicker than a 608 bearing). I also tried several other designs including ones that glued together (didn't like that, too hard to take apart), a threaded one - really neat concept but didn't work quite the way I wanted, a two piece that pressed together - but again this required glue. So in the end after printing more than 7 or 8 different caps from Thingiverse, I decided to make my own. I hope it works for you.
