Someone close to me is a fan of SUE the T-Rex (FMNH PR2081) on Twitter, so I designed a T-Rex fidget spinner for them!

This spinner requires a 8x22x7mm 608 bearing.

The T-Rex image used is "fossil", by Raf Verbraeken on The Noun Project. (I have purchased a royalty-free license for this image.)

Print Settings

Printer:                      

Rapide Lite 200

Rafts:                      

No

Supports:                      

No

Resolution:                      

0.2mm

Infill:                      

100%

Notes:

You will need good print bed adhesion to print without any support, because there is a lot of detail in the first layer. I used Fleks3D to accomplish this.

I used 3D Solutech Silver Metal PLA for the pictured models.

All the parts put together print in about 2 hours on my Rapide Lite 200.

Post-Printing

Adding the bearing should not require much force. However, this means that you may need to adjust the position of the bearing if the spinner seems off-balance.

The caps should clip together inside the bearing and hold together. You can use glue if you like, but I have not found it to be necessary on my prints.
