hey everyone today I’ll be showing you how to make one of these really awesome
how to make one of these really awesome
how to make one of these really awesome fidget toy and ninja stars first I did a
fidget toy and ninja stars first I did a
fidget toy and ninja stars first I did a quick google search and found this
quick google search and found this
quick google search and found this canvas here and then what you want to do
canvas here and then what you want to do
canvas here and then what you want to do is go and right click calibrate and
is go and right click calibrate and
is go and right click calibrate and let’s say you want this opening for the
let’s say you want this opening for the
let’s say you want this opening for the bearing to be smaller maybe you have
bearing to be smaller maybe you have
bearing to be smaller maybe you have larger bearings you want to make a
larger bearings you want to make a
larger bearings you want to make a larger ninja star then you would take
larger ninja star then you would take
larger ninja star then you would take the point across which would be the
the point across which would be the
the point across which would be the diameter and that would set the rest of
diameter and that would set the rest of
diameter and that would set the rest of the image to scale based off of those
the image to scale based off of those
the image to scale based off of those two points and that measurement so in
two points and that measurement so in
two points and that measurement so in this case I had some smaller and I can
this case I had some smaller and I can
this case I had some smaller and I can actually go in here and see over here
actually go in here and see over here
actually go in here and see over here step 2 so here’s my sketch and I can go
step 2 so here’s my sketch and I can go
step 2 so here’s my sketch and I can go edit sketch you can see that the
edit sketch you can see that the
edit sketch you can see that the diameter is twenty-two point two
diameter is twenty-two point two
diameter is twenty-two point two millimeters and then I just basic
millimeters and then I just basic
millimeters and then I just basic basically based everything off of that
basically based everything off of that
basically based everything off of that center point on the origin so go ahead
center point on the origin so go ahead
center point on the origin so go ahead and stop the sketch the next step was
and stop the sketch the next step was
and stop the sketch the next step was extrude it and I’ll get rid of the image
extrude it and I’ll get rid of the image
extrude it and I’ll get rid of the image here and also the sketch isn’t really
here and also the sketch isn’t really
here and also the sketch isn’t really necessary now that we have our form and
necessary now that we have our form and
necessary now that we have our form and that’s the basic shape the next thing to
that’s the basic shape the next thing to
that’s the basic shape the next thing to do is select your edges that you want to
do is select your edges that you want to
do is select your edges that you want to shann fur and you can see very simple
and you want to get the origin out of
and you want to get the origin out of there that’s pretty simple
the next piece is the finger rest which
the next piece is the finger rest which may be a little bit more challenging I
may be a little bit more challenging I
may be a little bit more challenging I had to go through a bunch of different
had to go through a bunch of different
had to go through a bunch of different times to make the right measurements so
times to make the right measurements so
times to make the right measurements so I start out with the circle in the
I start out with the circle in the
I start out with the circle in the center and then basically extrude that
center and then basically extrude that
center and then basically extrude that extrude the little cylinder that goes
extrude the little cylinder that goes
extrude the little cylinder that goes inside of the bearing made a little
inside of the bearing made a little
inside of the bearing made a little resting plate so that the metal interior
resting plate so that the metal interior
resting plate so that the metal interior piece that spins on the rest of the
piece that spins on the rest of the
piece that spins on the rest of the bearing can sort of rest right here then
bearing can sort of rest right here then
bearing can sort of rest right here then chamfered that and one more time around
chamfered that and one more time around
chamfered that and one more time around the edge and that’s finished product so
the edge and that’s finished product so
the edge and that’s finished product so you can see I just printed those very
you can see I just printed those very
you can see I just printed those very simple design
what do you guys think about that it’s a
what do you guys think about that it’s a pretty straightforward process and once
pretty straightforward process and once
pretty straightforward process and once you learn this sort of skill and any
you learn this sort of skill and any
you learn this sort of skill and any modeling software then you can apply
modeling software then you can apply
modeling software then you can apply this to a lot of your projects the idea
this to a lot of your projects the idea
this to a lot of your projects the idea is to go back to some of my older
is to go back to some of my older
is to go back to some of my older projects and apply this new knowledge of
projects and apply this new knowledge of
projects and apply this new knowledge of 3d printing to them so I have some ideas
3d printing to them so I have some ideas
3d printing to them so I have some ideas for multi tool a little multiple rocket
for multi tool a little multiple rocket
for multi tool a little multiple rocket launcher I made that was really fun and
launcher I made that was really fun and
launcher I made that was really fun and also I could do some stuff with lighter
also I could do some stuff with lighter
also I could do some stuff with lighter cases maybe my own custom lighter case
cases maybe my own custom lighter case
cases maybe my own custom lighter case there’s already some out there but it’d
there’s already some out there but it’d
there’s already some out there but it’d be neat to create something completely
be neat to create something completely
be neat to create something completely original using these technologies and
original using these technologies and
original using these technologies and you can also go in and using camp
you can also go in and using camp
you can also go in and using camp software if you didn’t want this to be
software if you didn’t want this to be
software if you didn’t want this to be 3d printed because it maybe you’re
3d printed because it maybe you’re
3d printed because it maybe you’re dealing with more intense pieces that
dealing with more intense pieces that
dealing with more intense pieces that need to uphold to more force like for
need to uphold to more force like for
need to uphold to more force like for example this could be milled and we have
example this could be milled and we have
example this could be milled and we have a very awesome and useful shuriken I’m
a very awesome and useful shuriken I’m
a very awesome and useful shuriken I’m not sure how useful the bearing would be
not sure how useful the bearing would be
not sure how useful the bearing would be in the center but you probably get what
in the center but you probably get what
in the center but you probably get what I’m talking about gives us more options
I’m talking about gives us more options
I’m talking about gives us more options so here we have the model disassembled
so here we have the model disassembled
so here we have the model disassembled essentially there is a bearing which
essentially there is a bearing which
essentially there is a bearing which goes in the center and everything is
goes in the center and everything is
goes in the center and everything is just friction fit together so you have
just friction fit together so you have
just friction fit together so you have to sort of just push that in and I
to sort of just push that in and I
to sort of just push that in and I actually removed the caps on both sides
actually removed the caps on both sides
actually removed the caps on both sides of the bearing and lubricated it myself
of the bearing and lubricated it myself
of the bearing and lubricated it myself with the stuff called speed cream it’s
with the stuff called speed cream it’s
with the stuff called speed cream it’s for space skateboards so that stuff’s
for space skateboards so that stuff’s
for space skateboards so that stuff’s pretty good and you could actually if
pretty good and you could actually if
pretty good and you could actually if you think it looks cool like that you
you think it looks cool like that you
you think it looks cool like that you don’t necessarily need the little plates
don’t necessarily need the little plates
don’t necessarily need the little plates but these are your thumb rests and these
but these are your thumb rests and these
but these are your thumb rests and these also friction fit
and just kind of play around so you get
and just kind of play around so you get it where you want it to be in the center
it where you want it to be in the center
it where you want it to be in the center and then I took some of this
and then I took some of this
and then I took some of this carbon-fiber vinyl and I think it adds a
carbon-fiber vinyl and I think it adds a
carbon-fiber vinyl and I think it adds a nice aesthetic look much more
nice aesthetic look much more
nice aesthetic look much more professional and finished and there you
professional and finished and there you
professional and finished and there you go so the most fun is to try and get
go so the most fun is to try and get
go so the most fun is to try and get this thing to spin ridiculously fast and

actually catch the wind if you were to
actually catch the wind if you were to blow on it still not fast enough
blow on it still not fast enough
blow on it still not fast enough compressed air so there you have it a
compressed air so there you have it a
compressed air so there you have it a really simple and awesome fidget oi I
