Tri Gear Cog Fidget Spinner Experiment

thingiverse

Visit http://fidgetexpert.com/best-spinners/ for more of my projects. UPDATE3: FULLY WORKING VERSION IS OUT! Look for the TriCogSpinnerUpdated.zip or download them separately! Do note that some sanding is required to get the perfect fit. I recommend that you use some metal washers on the top and bottom of the bearings to let them spin freely. UPDATE 2: New design is up, check the folder called TriCogSpinner.zip. Next up is to make a version that has the cogs more visible. I haven't printed it yet so bare in mind some things may not fit properly. UPDATE: So I figured out how to make the cogs spin around the center cog by using two bearings and leave the center cog without a bearing. At the moment it's only a dual spinner, but I will get working on a tri version soon. Will also try to make it a little smaller as it's pretty big now. !READ BEFORE DOWNLOADING! I just realized that this will not function like a normal fidget spinner unless the center cog is stationary, and sadly I am not really sure how to achieve this. Any ideas? Saw a cool fidget spinner the other day so I started recreating it. This one uses cogs or gears to spin around, as well as skateboard bearings. I haven't printed it yet so I cannot say for sure if it will work or not. I've included the source file if anyone want's to experiment even more. I'll update with pics and videos in a couple of days.
