For fuck's sake, I must be getting old because all of a sudden I just see this everywhere and had to look up what it was. It's like when everyone was talking about Snapchat and I had no idea what the fuck it was, either.

What is this device and what is its function. Are they new speakers or a drone? I can't tell

>>60318915
Its like a fingerbox but better

>>60318915
It's literally just a toy that spins Normies got their hands on them and it's some new fad or some shit.
Still massively autistic

something that is mildly entertaining if you own an air compressor

>this thread

>>60318915
It's exactly what it sounds like. Since everyone under the age of 30 has ADHD, these things exist to keep them at bay. Sort of like a stress squeeze thing, but more faggy and memey so a bunch of 14 year old fuccbois with miley cyrus haircuts and $900 phones post about them on snapchat or whatever the fuck.

Just today received mine and like always decided to clean it in water like everything. I guess the water damaged bearing because now it barely spins. Will order new one

It's a little doohickey that spins. It's literally marketed as an autism therapy but normies are using them now, too, for some reason.

I hear some people use them to concentrate, but desu people who need a fucking toy to concentrate should be physically removed

>>60318787 (OP) #
It's weirding me out that I bought one at a swap meet literally the day before they blew up everywhere. Like the day before. And now all of a suddon it's a cultural phenomenon fad being pushed out the ass by skaters.

I had my first spinner a year ago when I saw a 3d model on maker bot's website. I made it and accidentally dropped it off a bridge. Must've contaminated the water supply, because now my autism is spreading around the world and there's nothing you can do to stop it.

>>60318826
Don't worry, it's just massively shilled because people want to make bank on it. It's easiest money ever basically, you just buy those off taobao in bulk for peanuts and sell to retarded normies with several hundred percent markup.

Pathetic dumb fad for inbred poor people, junk to sell to dumb kids.
Every couple of years has one of these pieces of shit, either work to dismantle it because idiots en mass can ruin -your- society by investing wealth and interest is garbage, or ignore it.

Caged roller ball bearing. The barrier is plastic and not secured but friction keeps it from moving.

>>60321491

And besides, generations are usually actually determined after the fact, like once a new birth wave happens. Gen Z is not a new birth wave, just teens who hear people complain about Millinials and think they're different.

They are real bearings, you can take them out and use them. They act as weights in the spinner, but are actual real bearings.

They are really shit tho, tried them in a skateboard because I thought I might be able to get good cheap bearings that way but they suck.

Are they designed for people with autists or ADHD? I can't tell.

"The origins of the spinner trace back to what its inventor, Catherine A. Hettinger["

"Hettinger filed an application to patent her spinner on May 28, 1993,[16] before flying up to Washington, D.C. to secure her patent in 1997.[6][16] The toy manufacturing company Hasbro tested the design but decided not to proceed with production, and after not being able to afford the $400 renewal fee for her patent, Hettinger surrendered the patent in 2005.[6] Many manufacturers later began creating spinners in different shapes and designs.[6] Hettinger made no money from the sale of this product.[17]"

Learning is interesting - and sickening.

>>60324215

it can help people who don't actually have anything like autism or adhd or whatever

I mean, I definitely sometimes focus better by fiddling with a pen or something, especially if there's some background noise that might otherwise grab my attention

but really, 90% of the buzz of it is just about the fad itself, and that the spinning looks kind of cool. I'm sure most of those who buy these now don't actually use them for longer than some weeks.

I don't understand this either. Why are the counter weights also bearings?

maybe so that if the middle one wears out, you can swap?

I can't imagine that actually happening to very many but hey, a good design choice nonetheless

>>60329987
But they're different bearings. They still have that guard thing and are probably packed with grease which means they won't spin very well/long.

They outer bearings on mine are all seized. I think I have the most poorly made spinner available. I suspect they just put in bearings that were rejects from manufacturing because there is nothing else to do with them but throw them away.

You'll cut yourself but the bigger problem is that you can't spin them in a bank or something. The risk is fun and it's not like you'll die from a cut on your finger.

I'm 35 I've seen this over and over again, it is always something that is completely useless, almost as though the point of it is to be useless.

This is the nintendo wii but with a lower price tag. A gimmick is all it takes. The trouble is kids are now still kids at 25. These 'adults' have $0 in the bank and have spent every penny they had on action figures and comic books (the same as this shit)

>>60321923
Well they have to get rid of these low quality bearings somehow, they are useless for any real application.

Is this some kind of normie Facebook meme like that Dick and Marty cartoon show and that shit about some McDonald's secret sauce?

So after doing a bit of research it looks like these sell for $10 bucks on Amazon with the "premium" ones going for a little over $20.
I think I can source cheapo bearings for around $.75 so I'll need four of those, plastic cost at $.50, a dollar for packaging, and labor cost of around $1.50 per unit. I'd be looking at needing to move 2,222 units to recoup my investment at $10 or 690 units at $20.
I'd probably end up pricing somewhere in between there but could I sell that many? It'll take me at least a month to get all the equipment put together and get a product out. I'm just afraid by then I'll have missed the train entirely.

Muh /diy/ senses are tingling I'm seriously considering making these. Talk me out of this or tell me what I should add to make my product stand out. It'll be injection molded and the whole shebang too so it's not like I'll be chunking these out of a 3d printer and I'm also fully capable of making crisp printed boxes.

>>60337905
Look at the quantity of the $20 ones sell vs the cheap $10 or below ones sell. $20 seems a lot and you can get a much more interesting gyro >>60323129 for that much.

>>60337905
you can get 608 bearings for 22-25c on aliexpress at 10 qty. one trick the chinks are using is to use a smaller r188 bearing for the center, it actually spins better because it's smaller.

and yes you already missed the train, chinks are shitting these out by the boatload for prices you can't match if you build them yourself. you could probably make some $$$ by just reselling though. prices on amazon are high as usual.

>>60337982
I can't make a gyro though. I mean I probably could but it would be new ground for me. I've done plastic injection molding but never die cast aluminum.

>>60338013
I had listed figured in all the manufacturing prices though if I can sell these for $10 I can turn a profit after 2000 unit sales. Less than that even if I do what >>60337982 said. It'll just be in 4 weeks and if I don't sell that many I'll be in the hole.

I dunno the more I look at it the more ideas I get. It'd be neat to make these link together and have it do four bar linkages as well.

Wasn't suggesting you make a gyro. Spinners are already out there and you'll have to find a way to penetrate the market, like make them more interesting or sell them dirt cheap. Gyros require more attention to operate and hence not really "fidget" toys.

You could try and be like apple and make it really fancy looking with expensive packaging. Over-design it essentially.

I could do two colors of plastic one for the body and one for the center piece maybe even do some over molded rubber bits to really make it pop.

>>60338179
>>60338195
This looks interesting. It should sell if it has the same rotation characteristics as the normal ones.

At this point, you can fuck around with the design to set yourself apart from the normal ones. Also look into incorporating it into a keychain or something of the sort.

Like put a carabiner on it? I suppose it would make it more convenient to carry around if you could put it on a keychain but it'd need a way to clip off simply. I mean unless a spinny keychain toy would sell too.

Putting a plastic clip on the corner like pic related wouldn't be to hard at all though. I could even incorporate it into the celtic knot shape.

Make them to order machined out of metal. Any metal the customer wants. You might be able to get some 1%er to buy a solid gold one with 200% markup.

>>60338541
yes, this so much. I have severe adhd, and if I can't do it with one finger or one hand it's too much. You need both hands working to use this, which doesn't make sense - I'm usually using one hand to do something - write, type, hold something, etc, and I need the other to stay busy. Can't do that with this, or at least as far as I could tell when I tried to play with them.

No, not the keyring. Attach a rod to the central part that connects at the other end to the ring which circles the entire spinner, like a rim. You attach the keyring to this ring.

Anyone in Tokyo? Where to buy a decent spinner? I went to Don Quixote but they were the lowest of the low chinkshit and made awful screeching sounds.

Is this fidget spinning shit for retards who are too dumb for pen spinning?

I printed the body for one as a test print when I got my 3d printer and I'm supposed to get some bearings to put in it so it actually spins but I feel like its too late to do it now because its gotten popular or whatever
