3D model description

NOTE: This was imported from Thingiverse which is awful and I've abandoned. Nothing new will be posted here, nor will any of these designs be updated at any point. All my newest work is on Printables (https://www.printables.com/social/13634-cmh/models).

I came up with my Cinco hand spinner fidget (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1877130) when I had six bearings left over after making one of the many triple fidget spinners. But, since bigger is always better, I realized the next step was to go to six outer bearings, and with six outer bearings, what better idea than an homage to a revolver cylinder?

This doesn't serve any purpose other than being the next step bigger, which is in and of itself an homage to the ridiculous escalation that always happens in any consumer product, whether it's megapixels in cameras or gigahertz in processors or whatever... we always need more even after we sail right past all that we really needed.

It's pretty darn big, and I still prefer the original triple spinner, but hey, it's something different.

I've included a spinner button which has a shoulder to stand the main body off of the bearing. I noticed that the buttons I had originally printed would occasionally rub on the bearing and slow it down, so I added the stepped shoulder to prevent that, and made the overall diameter slightly larger. NOTE: my button design really isn't all that good - it's hard to print, and the size of the shaft is a little too small to make it a press fit into the bearing. Because of this, I recommend skipping my end caps altogether and checking out some of the other awesome designs available here. Thanks to malakid (https://www.thingiverse.com/malakid) who posted a print (https://www.thingiverse.com/make:414770) and linked to [these cool bullseye caps)[https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2335142] which fit nicely with the theme of the "six shooter" spinner itself.
