This is how I made this 3D printed snowflake fidget spinner. It is a fun project that uses Tinkercad's code blocks to design the snowflake.

Supplies

Computer with internet

3D printer

skateboard bearing

1/4" hex nuts

Add code like this on the end of your snowflake code.

The first two lines add the hole in the center for the skateboard bearing.

The next group of code adds 6 hexagons to fit 1/4 inch hex nuts that act as weights. It works without them but works much better weighted.

The last line lifts the snowflake up flush with the design plane.
