5-Gear Spinner

Hello fellow makers and gadget lovers! I've always been fascinated by the mechanics and aesthetics of spinners. After stumbling upon a video featuring a captivating 4-gear spinner, I couldn't resist the urge to put my own spin on the concept. The result? A 5-gear spinner arranged in an eye-catching X formation, all snug within a sleek circular frame. Design Journey:The challenge was to create something familiar yet novel. I wanted a spinner that not only functioned well but also stood out visually. After several iterations and a bit of tinkering, I landed on a design that not only met but exceeded my expectations. Functionality:While it may not have the "perpetual" motion of its metal counterparts, this 3D printed spinner has a charm all its own. The gears interlock seamlessly, providing a satisfying spin time and a hypnotic visual effect that's sure to draw the eye. It's a testament to what we can achieve with a bit of creativity and our trusty 3D printers. The Build: Materials Needed
