Supplies

I used a pencil and paper for sketch (optional) and fusion 360 for my design (required)

Circles

At first, we will start by making 2 circles inside one other at the size of 22 and 34.

Making the Circles 3d

Now we will pull the circles apart to give them a 3d cylindrical shape so they can be a part of our fidget spinner.

Center Part

Now, we will make the tapered angle 30 so it can look like the image above and be the center part.

Flower Shape

So now we can give it more of a flower shape and give our fidget spinner a cool and smooth texture.

Make Flower Shape 3d

Then we can successfully make our beautiful flower shape 3d by dragging and pulling it upwards.

Cutting a Hole

Now we will draw a circle shape on our flower and crop it apart to give it more of a goggle shape.

3 Times

So after we have our hole cropped, we will repeat the step 2 more time to give it the outer fidget spinner shape.

Smooth

The next step is to make the edge smooth by giving it a radius so it's a perfect outer layer.

Center Cap

After, we will make a simple center cap which allows your fidget spinner to rotate, you can see the steps in my youtube video if you want. You can give it a logo if you want to but you don't have to.
