The snitch fidget spinner is a recreation of the golden snitch of the famous Harry Potter wizard sport quidditch. I wanted my spinner to both rotate about the center as normal fidget spinners do, but I also wanted to recreate the blurring of the wings the snitch displays when it flies around (like the wings of humming bird). This is why I made the free wings free spinning with their own 1/4” ID bearings where they meet the sphere and added weights above their rotational axis. I created my spinner and renders using Fusion 360. I am an avid SolidWorks user, but I was very pleased with Fusion 360 performance and will definitely continue to use it while on my Mac. Free for hobbyist and students, can’t be better than that. The step file assembly is 4 unique parts attached to this intractable entry (the left and right wings are the same geometry). Parts are designed to be press fit, but may need a little sanding to fit snuggly. The bearings used in this design I pulled from McMaster Carr, part numbers and quantities are below here: 60355K41, QTY = 2 60355K601, QTY = 1 You could also change up the design for different bearing sizes or use bearings of equal geometry not from McMaster Carr. The weights I used on the wings are 1/2” OD bronze washers from McMaster Carr: 93490A013, QTY = 2 You could change the weights for something else as well: lead, quarters, knuts, sickles, galleons. Good luck printing and spinning.
