Quad-offset Open Satellite Fidget Spinner (EDC)

thingiverse

This design was definitely inspired by http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1957808. I would like to thank Strabe3d for the original. The inner diameters are drawn at 22.1mm. You may or may not have to sand or use a vice depending on the accuracy from your calibration. It is designed right handed and if you are left, just rotate the model on the X or Y axis before printing. Five 608 skateboard bearings are needed to complete the model. Print Settings Printer: Mini Kossel Rafts: Yes Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.1mm - 0.2mm Infill: At least 30% or higher. Notes: I use Mattercontrol for slicing. The higher infill on this is for structural stability within the bearing satellite holes. Due to the open nature of the satellites, play it safe. Use at least 3 shells or 1mm perimeter settings. I also use a raft at the moment, but have printed just fine without. The same goes for the supports. Your slicer may not even see the need to place supports. I hardly ever print spinners with them enabled, but this is designed with a pronounced fillet and I believe supports will only help quality. Some spinners are like that. This is also true of the lower resolution preferences. Truly, you can get away with 0.3mm, but it's a small print anyway. The lower resolution feels better in the hand and you will have a sense of pride while holding it. Test your printer's capabilities every chance you get. For absolute perfection, you may have to adjust your slicer's triggered retraction distance (perhaps 20mm down to 3-5mm) to help with stringing along the vertices within the finger slots. There are two speed settings in Mattercontrol that can significantly help with oozing. They are your "travel speed for non print moves" and your "retraction length on move" settings. These may have to go faster or slower depending on your results. Experimentation is the best teacher at this point. If successful and use Mattercontrol yourself (probably repetier too, idk), just make a profile to store your spinner settings. Do this especially if you design and sell your models. Whew, seems like a lot for a spinner. I might have an addiction... Post-Printing Anything you may need to do... -sand? -use a vice? -glue? -acetone? -file? -bake the model? (I'm serious on this one, it's a thing.) (Although, I'm too lazy for that, it's still there. See last sentence.) -pick at burrs with fingers? -Netflix and chill? All choices you should make and not me.
