Fidget Spinner This is my take on a fidget spinner with a planetary gear system with a Sun gear, 4 Planet gears and a Ring gear. I have tired to create a print in place model, but the tolerance have to be too big for it to work which creates a lot of slop. You will have to pop the inner gears into the ring once the print is done. Note: I have found the Silk PLA to spin the best out of the filaments I have tested. Assembly InstructionsNote: Make sure the gears are lined up in the right direction before assembly. The point of the gears will be pointing in the same direction as the gear it is going to mesh with.Insert the center Sun gear and 2 of the Planet gear as shown below. Place the 3rd Planet gear on the one side. To add the last Planet gear, squeeze the both edges just above the other two gears to sort of make a little ‘V’ shape at the top so you can insert the last gear or pull from the top edge and the last gear will slip in. It helps to be pushing down on the last gear as you in
