New Tri-Spinner Design
The good news:
The 3D design I discussed in the last update (click here if you missed it) is now with my machinist …and is soon to be prototyped.
The less-good news:
My machinist is ultra-busy right now and so it’s taking a little longer than I had hoped (I will keep you updated though!)
Now, here’s something else for you..
Even though I’m focusing on getting this first spinner design produced – I’m still doing a little experimenting with other designs in 3D (I’ve done this previously and so you can click here if you’re new and want to see the previous “Launch List” update).
Here’s a new design I did just to continue learning this 3D CAD software. This spinner design is based on a real titanium prototype I did – so I might actually produce it at some point…
I started by building the “framework” for the overall shape:
Subtract to create shape:
Extrude shape to create 3D part:
Remove the “framework” to leave 3D part:
Draw 2D lines to cut away material:
Subtract material:
Subtract material on the other three arms:
Clean-up drawing:
Add a bunch of beveling (this is actually easier that looks):
Create profile for button:
“Revolve” the button profile to create 3D button part:
Button made:
Add button to body of spinner and also render it a little so it looks better (i.e. so it looks like titanium!):
…and that’s pretty much it done!
Now, truthfully, this is similar to a rough prototype I made a week or so ago …and, hand-on-heart, the above spinner design will perform really, REALLY well. And by this I mean comfort in your hand, ways to flick it, repeatability (or flicks), and so on.
It is likely I will produce something like this and offer it for sale soon. However, in the meantime, I am going to continue to focus and develop and offer the original titanium spinner – that’s this one here:
One last thing:
Just to re-iterate what I said at the start… the above spinner is now with my machinist who will be cnc-machining it very soon. Once I have this done I will know a price and timeframe for it being available. Thank you for your patience!
I definitely want a tri spinner when you make one??
Want one so much
SAME!!!
I would also be interested in the TRI spinner
I prefer the “ninja star” version but that one is still awesome.
So can u estimate the praise maybe around 75 or so?
Still watching with interest and praying it is in my meagre disabled tranny budget!
I would like to buy both the bi and tri spinner if price is right.
It looks bad ass.
Can’t wait to see the final complete version.
I like the ninja-star spinner better.
I’m more into tris myself but the original one you’re working so diligently on is starting to grow on me too lol
Oh my gosh!!!! I love how you keep us updated with these informative posts, I first and formoast want the dual spinner but if the price is good, I plan on getting both. Keep us updated!!!!
Yes Please, one of each!
Have you looked at adding tritium as an option?
This I like 🙂
I want the first and the tri
When are you going to make it already I want to buy one today!
No more updates next email please have price and order form available
Or I will have to opt out of theses “informative” emails
Thank you for sharing the process of the design, Magnus. It really helps to understand the thought proces behind that you talk in your videos too.
I have to say I’m really interested in the tri and ninja spinners. Propably will purchase which ever you will make first. The original spinner does intrigue me with it’s fidgetability too and I might have to get that one too!
Thanks for the updated and keep up the good work!
To much brown nosing in here,
It is so good
Edge processing is also perfect
I would like to order spinner soon
I’m really liking it! Tri-spinners and bi-spinners are “it” lately on KS and IGG, but nearly all of them use molded plastic or 3D printed bodies with a bearing in the middle and also in the arms, for flywheel effect. Here are the ones I have already received and have pledged for:
Five Dollar Fidget Spinner
FlickDeck: Fidget spinner and bottle opener
Sphidget – A Unique Fidget Spinner Toy (received kit. Massive, heavy, but cool factor out the wazoo! 🙂 )
Would love to add your Ti-Tri and Bi-Ti Spinners to my collection. Hey – Tri-Ti and Bi-Ti would make great names for them! Feel free to steal! 🙂
Maybe put a button at the end of each leg…
Me too. I want one
Hey Magnus
Just wondering if by any chance do you plan to make versions of your spinners in Timascus with the torched finish?
If yes, awesome
If no, I understand!
( 20× the normal cost for material and lots more impossibly high standard work:)
…………..
Looks awesome… Really Awesome…
One thing though Magnus… PLEASE NOT ANOTHER KICKSTARTER!!!
Lawrie
Thank you again for the peep brother… Coming along beautifully!
Mark me down for a Ninja Spinner!
I want both, do you think in a special offer for them?
Are you going to have any deference with followers?
Great job!!!
Can’t wait to put an order in for the original spinner design. The tri spinner design looks really good but I can’t wait until the ninja star design from the vlogs becomes available, really hoping that design goes into production.
MARK ME DOWN FOR A TRI SPINNER BABY
Really like the looks of the tri spinner.
Really want one of each now.. Thanks Magnus for keeping us updated!
Magnus, thank you for your informative emails. I cannot wait until both spinner ideas are ready. Hopefully you come out with different colors, as you did with your MokuTi Hang key. I’ll be purchasing both.
Thanks again, and keep up the great work and craftsmanship.
I would like a tri spinner as well. The tringle shape one is unique but this design seems a bit more comfortable
Looking good M!!! Thanks for the updates! Looking forward to the initial design… Love your Goods Bud! Keep on Innovating!!!
I definitely want both of them. Let’s get the CNC machines pumping these things out! Stop teasing with stories of why you’re thinking of doing. You know most of us have ADHD or we wouldn’t care about spinners in the first place. I’d like to see a dual purpose spinner. One that is a decent spinner but also has some kind of useful tool like a pry bar, screwdriver, or bottle opener or something like that. Make your EDC more useful. That’s a challenge since you need to have the weights pretty close on both ends for it to spin well.
I’ll be so interested about trying the tri spinner! 🙂 Good job man, can’t wait to buy one!
Both ideas look really good I would like to have one when they drop
I really prefer the triangle you shown on Spin Space.
Well maybe it’s not terrible to EDC in the pocket ^^ But it looked more original.
Maybe a whole bunch of different spinners?
Can’t wait. Looking forward to purchasing them both when available. As always you put so much into each of the projects you undertake. It really shows in the final product. You continue to design and release so many amazing items. Might just start direct depositing my checks into your account!!! Lol Thanks again as always
?????
Can have a trip spinner please
I really hope you will be able to produce two kinds of material – cheaper steel version for us plebs please 🙂
Hope the spinners are at a reasonable price.cant wait!!
Magnus 3D software is so amazing huh? I’m sure that it’s even more easier and amazing with the things that you can do with it since I touch that software. I like your first idea on the Tri-Spinner with the pointed tips. This Spinner the tips look to blocky. Like maybe if you went from the middle diameter and down at an angle to a smaller block. That might even be easier to catch to with the finger. Who know I’m just a disabled CNC Machinist throwing an idea out there for you.
Like to maybe a 9.525mm or 6.35mm of a block would be nice.
I’m excited. Can’t wait!
Definitely keen on the tri spinner. Its the best looking spinner i have seen. Cant wait!
Nice design!!!
Would like both, really like the first spinner for a little pocket spinner need asap :)!
Can’t wait !. So exited!.
Thanks xo
Digging the tri! I do agree with the person above, the arms maybe being tapered down/going to a point would be less blocky. The geometric shape of the one youre currently machining is really appealing and the tri would be even better tapered I think. Regardless, great work!
I’m really looking forward to the tru-spinner!!!
I liked the three points star more than this
I would love one very much but I am not able to afford one, I would love a spinner!
I want one as well but I can’t afford one.
I want a Tri model too,awesome looking work!!!
I think the ninja star one would be better.
Ohhh Very interested in one.
One of each please.
iwant
I’d love to try it out, I have not yet to get a spinner and would love to see what these are al about
I think the button is a little too big
So excited!
Will be waiting for the TRI?
I would 100% buy a tri-spinner when they are for sale!!
I would get these immediately if these come out. I love your products.
I would love a tri- spinner, I am willing to pay $30- 60. If its ok, place it on hold or contact me.
I will have to agree with the majority and say I will be wanting both designs. Each will have a unique “feel” in the hand which is basically the attraction of them.
I want one
