Altered Toy Design – Amanda Jones

I was obsessed with Percy Jackson as a kid and always wanted some of the stuff in the book. I wanted to model Poseidon’s trident and make it a fidget spinner. I don’t have access to CAD software so I drew it up but I will be using the school’s resources to design and print it.

    this is cool! love the concept. how do you plan on making it spin? What part of it spins exactly?

      At first, I was only going to make the top spin using a small ball bearing and printing the two pieces separately. I am still doing this however I am also making the bottom a magnet fidget and the bar at the top a screw fidget!

    I love the design! How big are you planning on making this?

    How do you plan to attach the printed pieces together with the magnetic parts? How to you plan to calculate for tolerance

    I would suggest making this piece at a large scale, and possibly add a ball bearing to make it spin more.
