I wanted to make some golden snitch spinners as party favors for my son's Harry Potter themed 8th birthday, but I did not find an existing model that I liked, so I modeled my own from scratch. I liked the design of [Valandar's Snidget Spinner](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2509808), but I hated using supports and I found the assembly with the bearing to be clunky and loose. His model has beautiful aesthetics though, so I used his design as a template for mine. The ribbing on the ball was tricky in Solidworks, but I got it done and it came out pretty well.

-- FEATURES --

Small Hands:
Since I want small hands to be able to use these, I reduced the outer spin diameter traced by the wings from 120 mm to 80 mm (~3-1/8"). To keep the wings from looking super short, I wrapped them around a bit.

No supports:
The bottom of my wings don't look nearly as good as Valandar's version, but they print without supports, so I call it a win.

Scaling:
I sized the ID of the body at 22.1m
