An update on the yard spinner model. Completely redesigned hollow base for additional weight and reduced print time. I used .177 steel coated BB's (<1000) but you can use anything that will fit like hex nuts/etc. The design does accommodate for overfilling/cover warp, so if you wish to really pack it to eliminate rattle, the spindle will have plenty of clearance to work.
Significantly heavier than just a solid high infill print. This also reduces the overall print time significantly. Does require the following hardware:
608 bearing (sealed or unlubricated)
8x 4-40 x 3mm threaded heat inserts (or M3 x 3mm)
8x 4-40 x 5/16" flat head screws (or M3 x 8mm)
I also improved the design of the spindle peg to allow for more accurate printing. I also opted to remove bottom feet indents. The main spindle remains unchanged aside from some cosmetic chamfer on some edges.
Printing notes:
Spindle peg: 100% infill, print with outer brim. Clean bottom edges thoroughly after to ensure easy insertion.
Main body can be printed at higher infill to make it even heavier (I printed mine at 20%)
Assembly notes:
Do no overfill base
Tighten screws in star pattern to avoid warping
