Not personally, but these guys have some cool ideas > [@I'm all Fidgety](https://community.inventables.com/t/im-all-fidgety/29192): > > If your not familiar with a ‘Fidget Toy’ or ‘Fidget Spinner’ you are not alone. I didn’t know anything about them until recently when they popped up as a featured collection on Thingiverse ([Thingiverse - Digital Designs for Physical Objects](http://www.thingiverse.com/glitchpudding/collections/fidget)). I did a quick google search and sure enough… its a ‘thing’. They are popular with the Pocket Collectible types (‘whats in my pocket today’ instagram groups). You can find them on Etsy for $$$ and ebay for $… but it turns out they are a quick and easy… ---

This is the one I am currently working on made from .25in aluminium with interference fit brass inserts. working on bearing caps then final polish. dust shields are left in bearing till final assembly to keep them clean during construction. These fidget spinners prove that a properly set up machine can do some pretty precise cutting. No sanding or grinding was required for the press fit inserts or the opening for the bearing. All cuts were to the specs. I needed to make the brass non removable but make the bearing opening just the right size to be able to remove it if need be for replacement ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/a/6/a6d9ed11985d60e819dcef92faa0e55d29808593.jpg)threw a quick polish on to get an idea ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/5/1/51eff3c5c61b9f947ac1fd82c5597f6aae47ec99.jpg) ![](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/inventables/original/3X/9/6/96b40fb20f610114689e9c2c6e8d8f1227f58bb3.jpg) ---

It seems like they are getting more popular. People are selling them on [ETSY](https://www.etsy.com/listing/294217263/tri-spinner-fidget-toy-v2), [Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dsporting&field-keywords=fidget+spinners), [Kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1099003782/edc-spinner-fidget-toy). [This version](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/antsylabs/fidget-cube-a-vinyl-desk-toy) did $6M on kickstarter! Has anyone seen them in the wild (outside of this forum or making them yourself)? ---

I see them quite often mostly people that hang out at vape shops ( electronic cigarette shops). Now I am a supplier to some of those shops. Any one interested in making and selling check out the local vape shops and have a chat with the owner. with in a week or so I will be putting together a pack of cad files to sell on ebay. because of many inquiries on the files them selves. ---

Sounds like I need to add a few more rules to the contest: 1. The contest is limited to fidget spinners made on X-Carve or Carvey with Easel. 2. You have to show proof that you sold it. I’ll post the Paypal page for my sale when I get to my computer. 3. Sales must be between Dec 11th and Dec 31st. Am I missing anything? ---

Would currency matter? If I sold a spinner for 35$ canadian does it count for 35 or does it count for the 250$ it converts to American? 😛 [Next page](https://community.inventables.com/t/fidget-spinners/30906.md?page=2)
