Customizable Yin-Yang Fidget Spinner
update 2017-04-11
added the option to use loose ball bearings: 3/8", 1/2", and 5/8" (tested with 5/8"); for a heavy, long spinning spinner.
update 2017-04-06
corrected a design flaw with larger weights that caused insufficient connection between the bearing frame and the weight frames
update 2017-03-28
allow for additional types of weights: 3/8", 1/2", M10, M12 hex nuts, 4 X penny, 3 X nickel, 5 X dime, 4 X quarter
update 2017-02-13
eliminated bug that prevented M8 nut option from working correctly
Important!
When using Customizer, a radius > 0 will cause the preview to time out, but if you press the Create Thing button, Customizer will create it!
- uses hex nuts or bearings as weights
- uses 1- 608 (22x7) bearing to spin
- uses 2-4X M8 or 5/16" hex nuts, 608 bearings or 3/8", 1/2" or 5/8" loose ball bearings for weights
Customize:
- edge roundness (radius)
- which weights: bearings or hex nuts
- the number of peripheral objects (yin-yang)
- The rotation angle of the peripheral objects: 2, use small, around 120; 4, use large, around 160-170
Note:
- The all bearing options require a large hand for a one-handed spin (Sorry, Donald)
