This is a remix of Fidget Flower with bearings by craeen

I love the idea of hiding weights inside a fidget spinner, especially when using nuts. However, after printing the original flower I quickly realized that it was not well balanced. I opened the design in SketchUp and found that the design has no symmetry (some petals are longer, some petals are closer together, etc.). Also, the nuts moved around a tiny bit in their cavity.

I redesigned the flower "from scratch" using the look of the original, while making each of the five petals symmetrical. I also converted the inner cylinders into the hex shape of the 5/16" nuts. The center post helps with bridging across the cavity.
