The file 'Spinning Coaster 3D Printer Model' is (stl,scad) file type, size is 5.1MB.

Summary

I upload new designs now mostly on printables.com.
If you want to support me, please download and like this design also on printables. If the design gets enough downloads&likes, i might get a spool of filament for free :-).
All my latest creations will be available there, as Thingiverse downloads are a bit broken at the moment and also the customizers seems to not work anymore.

Description

Spin the coaster to decide who has to pay the bill.

Several versions are included:

  • Wo is next
  • Truth or dare
  • Spin the coaster

Customization

To customize it with your own text, please install OpenSCAD on your own computer and follow the customizing instructions on this thing page.

If you could take a picture of an actual print, please "comment" and attach the picture. - I am curious to see your uses in the wild!

Video

Here is a video of the coaster in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovaoO4L-8X8

Credits

I used code from this gear bearing from emmett to create the herringbone gear bearing.

Printing

You can print it without any support, it is fully print-in-place.

Design

I created several versions until the coaster was spinning well. Turns out, both the gears (ball bearing alternative) and a heavier outer ring were needed.
