Ultra Long Duration Fidget Spinner, 8 minute spin time!
This is a spinner designed for super long spin times. It is a rework of my previous spinner ( https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2458214 ) but with all gaps enclosed so the spinner disrupts the least amount of air. I've done a few test runs, and I've been able to go over 8 minutes multiple times with this setup. See video below for an example on how it spins.
You'll need to print:
1 of "1x ultra spinner.stl"
1 of "1x center cap.stl"
Optional: 8 of "8x caps.stl". These caps will enclose the ball bearings top surface. Just snap into place and push them in so its level with the top of the spinner.
Buy 8 ball bearings, this is what I use: http://amzn.to/2eVXFY7
Buy 1 center ball bearing, I highly recommend getting ceramic: http://amzn.to/2u747gW
Thingaverse doesn't let me mark my model as a remix for more than one thing, but the "8x_caps.stl" are sourced from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2130642
And the "1x_center_cap.stl" is sourced from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335142
