SpinTop Pencil Fidget – Wing Edition

This is a winged variation of my original SpinTop Pencil Fidget—same satisfying pencil-top spinner idea, now with a “wing” look and feel.

SpinTop Pencil Fidget – Wing Edition is a simple, satisfying fidget that slips onto the pointed end of a standard hex pencil. The slotted “orb” design flexes slightly for a snug fit, and the smooth rounded shape is great for spinning, rolling between your fingers, or just absent-minded desk fidgeting while you work.

Features

• Press-fit fidget that mounts on the pointed end of most #2/standard hex pencils
• Comfortable rounded “orb” shape for spinning and thumb rolling
• Slotted shell provides a little springy grip without extra hardware

Printing

• Prints without supports
• Recommended: 0.2 mm layer height, 2–3 walls, 10–20% infill
• Material: PLA/PETG works great. (TPU also works if you want extra grip, but may feel less “spinny.”)

Fit notes

Pencils and filament shrinkage vary. If it’s too tight, scale the model up 1–2%. If it’s too loose, scale down 1–2%.

A great companion to the rest of the SpinTop Pencil Fidget series.

Printing Notes / If it won’t stick to the build plate

A few users reported that the original model can be prone to poor first-layer adhesion depending on printer, plate type, and filament. If you run into the same issue with this Wing Edition, try these steps:

1. Clean the build plate

   Oils from fingerprints are the #1 cause of random adhesion problems. Wash with dish soap + warm water, dry, and avoid touching the print area. (IPA wipe can help too.)

2. Slow down the first layer

   Use a slower first layer speed (example: 15–25 mm/s) and make sure your first layer is going down smoothly and slightly “squished,” not rounded.

3. Re-check Z-offset / first-layer squish

   If lines look too thin / you see gaps → you’re too high.

   If it’s overly rough or the nozzle drags → you’re too low.

4. Add a brim if needed

   If you’re printing on a plate/filament combo that’s finicky, a 3–6 mm brim can make this print much more reliable. You can remove it cleanly after.

5. Plate / filament tips

    

   • PLA: usually sticks best on a clean textured plate or PEI; brim helps if corners lift.
   • PETG: avoid printing directly on smooth PEI without a release layer; use your usual PETG plate routine.

    

If you try these and still have trouble, feel free to comment on the model with your printer + filament + plate type and I’ll help troubleshoot.
