About this print
A three-arm fidget spinner toy that spins freely once standard ball bearings are press-fitted into the body after printing. The balanced three-pronged shape gives it a steady spin and a distinctive profile. It is typically carried as a pocket toy or used as a focus aid. PLA is a practical choice for the body as it produces accurate tolerances at the bearing seats, which is important for consistent rotation.

All tolerances are exact and ball bearings need to be press fit in with a vise or equivalent device. If plastic cracks, increase stl model by 1-2 percent and print again. Standard 608ZZ Shielded 8x22x7 Miniature Ball Bearings used in this model. The center Bearing can be switched for a 608ZZ/C Ceramic Ball Bearing for increase spin time.
All work is based off David Pavelsky design and videos. He is the original designer/Creator of the Fidget spinner.

Printing Tri Fidget Spinner Toy
For Tri Fidget Spinner Toy we would normally reach for PETG — it is tougher and more heat-resistant than PLA, ideal for parts that take load or live somewhere warm. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
