Triple Lindy Fidget Spinner

thingiverse

This is a triple-decker functioning fidget spinner. It is absurd, of course, but fun to make. The key print is the connector, which snaps together two bearings that are each a part of an individual fidget spinner. The spacer is needed between them to keep them from banging into each other. I have included three different spinners, one with Triple Lindy Spinner written on it, one with no text, and another that is slightly smaller. Having the two different sizes can make a nice effect when spinning. The connected spinners can go in the same or in opposite directions. To make the third (optional) layer, add three of the "miniSpinners," which each use only one bearing and are small enough that they won't collide with each other when attached to the outer bearings of the main spinner. I'll leave at an exercise to the reader to figure out how to make this a quadruple spinner (hint, it's very easy). Everything is designed for standard 608ZZ bearings. You can mix and match parts creatively. To make the triple lindy in the picture, you need 11 bearings. You then need to print 4 connectors, 4 spacers, three miniSpinners, one regular spinner (with or without the text) and one spinnerSmaller. The minSpinners make it difficult to hold and still spin everything, so it is best to put it on a table as shown in the first picture, then everything can be set in motion.
