If you’ve read the comics, played the games or watched the movies, then this item will instantly conjure images of the Batarang in your cerebellum. It’s one of many weapons tucked away in Batman’s utility belt. We don’t recommend you throw this Bat-Spinner at a super-villain’s head, however. Best used for fiddling while Gotham City burns.

This 3D printed fidget spinner is an aesthetically appealing model where the three spokes come together to form a six-pointed star. The designer is also selling the Triplex for fabrication via Shapeways in selectively laser sintered (SLS) nylon in a variety of colors. Recommended ball bearings are 22mm OD, 8mm ID, 7mm wide.

This EDC (everyday carry) has knurled edges to make it even more tactile, though it might induce callouses on your fingers and thumbs after prolonged use. The designers have also added a peg cap so it can be spun in a pinch grip, or spun on a flat surface like a top. Recommended for the spinner mechanism are four standard 608 skateboard bearings.

The Dual Wave is a simple and minimalist hand spinner for folks who prefer to keep their fidgeting subtly concealed. It’s a two spoke design with some smooth curves, and requires only three bearings to operate. The smaller size should also add some variety to your spinning style.

This is a very tactile hand spinner with groves on the outside spokes. It’s also very tough and solid. Having printed and used one for several weeks, we can confirm that this fidget spinner can withstand repeated abuse and it will not break.

With the right materials, this hand spinner can look very impressive. That’s because it has circular grooves on the topmost surface, so it can catch the light when rotating. The pattern only appears on the one side, however.

This is a compact and discreet hand spinner, with knurls on the insides of the spokes for better grip. Nice if you have smaller hands, but still want a three spoke spinner as opposed to a duo.

This design has multiple tactile elements, with ridges, knobs and curves to make it into an all-round sensory sensation. It may look basic, but it ticks all the right boxes for the perfect hand spinner.

This hand spinner can be printed in one of two ways; one with space for counterweights embedded in the spokes, or one without. Fabricating without the counterweights means spins won’t last as long, but the need to fidget is still satisfied. The version pictured is printed at 200 microns with 100% infill, with glow-in-the-dark filament, and it looks the business.

These hand spinners have a simple, clean design, and can be printed in tri, duo and uno versions. Print settings are 100% infill at 200 microns. The designer recommends that you use 608 ball bearings (8mm core, a 22mm outer diameter, and a 7mm width) commonly used in skateboards.

Here we have a tri-spinner where the three spokes are different lengths, but the center of gravity is such that it rotates perfectly. It certainly deserves the Newton moniker. Of all the creative variations on the fidget spinner phenomenon, this is the smartest.

This chunky fidget spinner is suitable for folks with big hands. It’s also got fangs on the spokes to give it a neat speed trail effect when in motion.

This is a beautiful hand spinner that uses planetary gears. That means a spin from the center will also cause the cogs on the outer spokes to rotate as well. You’ll need a few extra bits and bobs to make it work properly; namely, three pairs of 16mm M6 screws and bolts.

As far as we can make out, this is the very first 3D printed fidget spinner to have surfaced on the magical electronic interwebs. It appeared online at the tail-end of September 2016, and we can’t find any designs shared before that point. Does that mean this is the original source of the craze? It’s a big mmmmmmaybe.

Flit through the shadows like a Ninja. And then twiddle away in stealth. Because this item ain’t no shuriken, it’s a fidget spinner. As with the batarang, it’s not advised to throw these at someone’s head.

This is a clever variation on the hand spinner design which uses only one 608 skateboard bearing at the center. What makes it clever? Because the centrifugal weight for prolonged spins are provided by M14 hex nuts, the rationale being that the outer bearings on the spokes are not strictly necessary. This is also a good opportunity to test out the method of adding metal screw threads to a 3D printed part using a soldering iron.

This hand spinner features a groove on the outer perimeter. So while it make look like a fidget sandwich, it’s actually a tactile design element. It’s also got an inner lip for the bearings on one side, so with a bit of tinkering of the design files it can accommodate alternative weights like coins on the outer spokes.

Again, there are some schools of thought that adding skateboard bearings to the outer spokes is a waste of time and money. The one bearing in the center is perfectly adequate; all that’s needed for the arms of the spinner are counterweights. This design uses a stack of 15 pennies for that exact purpose.  Whether the coins stay snug and secure during a frenzied bout of twiddling is for you to find out…

Spins not fast enough for your satisfaction? Here’s an iterative design on the classic hand spinner, with notches at the center so it can be spun super fast like a beyblade! You only need to fabricate four or five additional parts. Hands down, this Beyblade Fidget Toy is our favorite model yet.

Diving deep into B-movie obscurity, we have this hand spinner inspired by the fantasy film Krull. The Glaive isn’t encrusted with gold and jewels like the original. Nor does it have sharpened blades to slay hordes of alien invaders. But what it does have is embedded magnets to activate the (blunt) pointy bits when it spins. Also, you don’t have to dip your arm into a lake of lava to retrieve it.

The ever-popular Adafruit has a unique take on the hand spinner craze, devising an elegant model based around their company logo. They’ve also concealed the unsightly ball-bearing underneath an indented hub-cab, so you won’t get greasy fingers. Full instructions for fabrication and assembly can be found on their site.

From the same designer who brought us The Triplex, this hand spinner dispenses with the spoke motif for something more organic and… uh… swirly. You can either download the STL file from Thingiverse, or you can head on over to Shapeways and have The Swirl fabricated in a variety of materials, colors, and finishes. You still have to add your own ball bearings, though.

This is a single bearing hand spinner that pays tribute to the Naruto anime series. Although the cap looks like it was made from carbon fiber, in actual fact it’s a vinyl wrap that provides the same effect.

This finger spinner is useful for smaller hands, and with a cute kitty motif that features ears and whiskers. It only requires one skateboard bearing to work, with the weights on the outer spokes provided by hex bolts. I can haz fidget spinner?

Using a handy dandy 3D printer, you can fabricate a fidget toy with “print-in-place” plastic bearings. It may take a bit of work to loosen them after the print has finished, and your machine needs to be finely calibrated for the tolerances, but makers report that this is a pretty solid effort.

Teachers are reportedly banning hand spinners from the classroom. If you absolutely positively cannot live without one for even a few hours, then 3D print this micro single spinner so you can better conceal your habit from the authorities.

Merging two pop culture phenomena into a single package, this hand spinner design attaches weighted pokeballs to the end of each spoke. With one of these in your arsenal, your fellow Pokemon trainers will be burning with jealousy. Some additional assembly is required, however.

There are several things to like about this spinner design. Firstly, you can economize on those precious skateboard bearings. Secondly, it’s super easy to attach the hex nuts (though some gluing is required). Finally, it’s customizable; you can test out several variations before finding the one that’s right for you.

Here’s a clever idea; instead of smacking the side of the hand spinner to make it turn, you can use the power of wind. Simply blow along the spokes (or use a hair dryer), and watch that sucker glide.

Okay, a hand spinner toy in the shape of a T-bone steak is a little bizarre. Not to mention offensive for vegetarians. But inside this model is a cavity where you can stash some coins, providing some centrifugal weight to the spinner. Just don’t try to eat it.

A nice remix of the print-in-place hand spinner we featured earlier, now you can print a Triforce fidget spinner without needing any bearings. Fans of the Legend of Zelda will certainly get a kick out of this one.
