Gyroscopic Fidget Rings

Summary These Gyroscopic Fidget Rings are meant to be a fidget device to play around with while you are working, bored, or anytime you just need something with which to fiddle. It is a series of concentric rings that move independently of one another and rotate freely in all directions. I have provided the design files along with the 3D models. In addition, I have provided tutorials to show you how to design it in Fusion 360 as well as in Tinkercad where you can design it using the typical design process or by using Codeblocks. Check out the videos for a walkthrough Tutorial or the Instructables for a text-based guide.

The design was optimized to be printed with a 0.2 mm layer height and a 0.4 mm nozzle width. It was designed to be printed with a 10% infill; however, you can increase the infill as much as you want if you want the cube to have a bit more weight. 10% infill is more than sufficient to withstand regular use and the occasional drop. On a Makerbot Replicator+ with default settings, it took about ~35 minutes to print and required ~10 grams of PLA filament (including a raft). A raft is not necessary; however, our printer is older and has poor adhesion, so they were printed with a raft. The rings should move and rotate freely off the build plate. No post-processing is necessary. How I Designed This This design was created in Fusion 360
