I was curious if a fidget would have less friction without the bearings (as provided by a previous design).  This design simply uses a v shape to keep the inner and ourter races together.  It seems to have lower friction than the bearing deign which has a couple of minor rough spots that need smoothing.  

I freed up the print fairly easily by placing two arms in a vice, and bending the third arm a few degrees. The pleasant sound of a crack indicated that the two parts separated.

I used three standard 3/8” nuts to add some mass and momentum to the arms.  They slip fit into the openings, so need to be glued.
