I have made the hooks which the spinners are stored in.

CNC machining the back of the frame so that it will cover the back board and be easy to remove.

The importance of having the heavyer/bigger steal balls.

I’m even more glad that improved and re printed the spinner. The previous one didn’t work 100% of the time.

Compairing the difference between the old and new design. Shame you can’t see inside it. 

[helenmcilwrick]

It was really hard to photograph the shape and details of the spinner inside with the lighting. Also it was lovley and sunny.

Medium sized ball inside the base. I purposfully designed a ‘dimple’ so that it sits nicely and keeps the center of gravity balenced.
