No worries about the exact fit necessary, the springy nature lets it conform to the axle and vinyl record.

What it is
- Adapters for 45 rpm vinyl records with a spiraling effect. The 9/32 inch central hole and outer diameter (1.5 inch) are designed without clearance. No worries about the exact fit necessary, the springy nature lets it conform to the axle and vinyl record.
- A swirly pen holder. To celebrate this design being awarded, the secondary use case is upped to an additional variant - featuring a conical hole to better suit pens and pencils.

How to print
Recommended for printing is a 0.4 mm or 0.6 mm nozzle. Layer height 0.15 mm, 0.2 mm or 0.3 mm. Arachne produced artefacts for me, classic worked fine.
A multi color version is just a matter of simple filament changes between layers. In case it won't print neatly after a filament change: A draft shield, wipe tower or any object to consume filament beforehand (establishing good flow by doing so) may help.
To have it spinning the other way round, just mirror the part.
Material at one's discretion.
