Summary

I wanted to design a spinner that felt good in your hand and spun for a long time... This is what I came up with. A tai-spinner with butter-smooth spins which feels good enough to flick one handed, with the most momentum to make it spin longer, and still felt good to spin.

DISCLAIMER: These are not caps I designed, and are thus not in the files... While caps are not necessary, they make it easier to spin.

            <div><p>Insert standard, 608 skate bearings into the center and sides</p><p>I use a rubber mallet, and glue is not required due to the tight tolerance</p><p>If the bearings don't fit, increase the size of print by 0.5% </p></div>
