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