Coding an OpenSCAD Fidget
=======================

This Thing is a Fidget Spinner tutorial. I hate the idea of adding yet another fidget spinner. But then I thought the popularity of this thing may work to get some into coding.

I'm not posting the SCAD file here because I want those interested to actually code this not copy.

[OpenSCAD - Code a Fidget Tutorial](https://youtu.be/gpeFo8JHxuw)

Educationally Speaking this has it all:

Coding
---------
*Loopings
*Module calls
*Variables

Modelling
------------
* scaling
* transform
* hull
* difference

Physics
---------
* friction
* gyroscopic action
* centrifugal forces
* RPMs

Poetry
--------
One friend suggested writing poetry about fidgets.

Please comment if you have other ideas. I get excited about all the educational value this pesky fad may have.

UPDATE: To make a version that uses Bearings as weights make the following changes:

Change Line 6 to: WEIGHT_SIZE=11;
Change Line 6 to: WEIGHT_F
