Inspired by the Auryn from the movie The Never Ending Story, this animated fidget spinner is designed to be printed as a multicolor print using the AMS. It can also be printed as single color.
This fidget spinner is unlike a standard spinner. The shapes on the spinners are actually frames of animation. When you spin the spinner and view the spinner through a smartphone camera, the animations come to life. There are also two other ways to view the spinners. The instructions are below for the 3 different viewing methods.

Files included:
3MF file that is ready for AMS printing in Bambu Studio. File includes two quality versions. I recommend the high resolution version, but there is a 2mm layer height version that will print in half the time.
3MF file for non Bambu Printers. I know not everyone has a Bambu printer and this one is for you all.
Top and Bottom Cap files.
Bearing Top Cap.
(Optional) Bearing top tool. This will make it easier to lock on the bearing top cap.
