You will need to first download the files and open them into an application such as Cura and change the infill on bothe the spinner and the caps to 100.Then splice the file onto your sd card.

Now heat up your printer and select your file to print, I prefer to print each component individually. It took my 3D printer 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Lastly place the bearings into any of the holes (you may need to file them) and then press the caps into the middle bearings and use epoxy to hold them in permanently.
