Hey guys, it’s been a while!

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve worked on some Pavilion Gen 2 (PG2) custom Zirc pieces the past few weeks and today we listed them in the UQH Shop. They all came out really nice :)

I realize that I should have posted this here earlier as some of the pieces are now sold out, very sorry for that :( But there are still a couple different custom finishes available if anyone is interested.

Here are the custom Zirc finishes made (some are sold out):

•Custom Antique Finish
•Custom Fine Stonewash (FSW)
•Custom Ceramic Wash
•Custom Fine Stonewash (FSW) Oil Slick
•Custom Fine Stonewash (FSW) Blurple
•Custom Deep Stonewash (DSW) Blurple
•Custom Deep Stonewash (DSW) Rainbow

Please check their product pages in the Unquiet Hands website for more photos of each custom finish.

As a bonus, I have also finished up and listed a few Polished Zirc too, hope you guys enjoy!

I'm a bit torn and looking for some feedback.

I currently have the KAP Mega Horizon (tri), Mini Collision (bar), and Cell (tri) - all in zirc because I have a type. I love them all, but I am curious about how the Cell would be as a bar.

My first instinct would be to keep going with zirc for the aesthetics, but I do wonder how much of a difference that extra 20g of weight would make. Presumably the steel will give more feedback because it's heavier, but I've heard mixed things about how noticeable the difference is between steel and zirc on the same piece. If it's a really significant change in how it feels, then I might consider branching out to another material. I'm interested in thoughts on the difference for this piece specifically, but also in any broader insight into how variable the feel of different materials is.

The zirc bar cell would be the lightest piece in my collection, with the others weighing in at 116g, 80g, and 83g respectively.

Lingua Machining.. Tri Xenosu in copper

I found this on my elementary school playground back in 2017 during the fidget spinner craze and kept it ever since.
It has these markings:

China
I’ve searched Google, eBay, WorthPoint, Disney merchandise articles, collector sites, and reverse image searches but haven’t found a single photo of this exact spinner.
It doesn’t have any character artwork, LEDs, or other markings. The center cap is plain and there are no hidden markings underneath.
Does anyone recognize where this was sold? Was it from Disney Parks, a Disney Store, a Pixar movie promotion, or something else?

I recently bought the feifei origin thanks to this sub and I'm looking for my next pickup, really don't mind what kind as I have both a bar and a tri now with my bar being a short story clone. Been thinking about the mini robot and Xuan jia but any recommendations are appreciated!

Thanks everyone for all the advice! I finished my first prototype.

The main goals were:

to see how non-round buttons would feel in hand and look (bad),
to try adding lead weights inside (I stuffed it with a few fishing sinkers),
and to see how well I could balance it by adding tiny amounts of modeling clay.

Overall, it spins surprisingly well! I don't notice any imbalance, and the last few revolutions are nice and smooth. However, I've hit a limit with the bearing's radial play. It makes fine balancing much more difficult, and it also causes the buttons to occasionally rub against the body. I also bought several R188 bearings from a local store, but they turned out to be pretty terrible.

Some of you recommended bearings from reputable manufacturers, but unfortunately ordering from those stores isn't really an option for me since I can't pay with PayPal or use direct international shipping. I searched AliExpress but couldn't find anything that inspired much confidence. If anyone has links to good bearings on AliExpress, I'd be VERY grateful!

I already have a sheet of lead on the way for the core to add more weight, along with a few other materials for the outer shell. Hopefully the next prototype will feel much more substantial.

It's definitely oversized and pretty ugly, but I wanted to get something spinning before obsessing over the design. Finding a shape that actually looks good turned out to be much harder than I expected

I've recently become really interested in making my own fidget spinner. At this stage I'm mostly interested in experimenting with shapes and mechanisms rather than building a finished product.

My plan is to start with sculpting and 3D printing to quickly prototype different ideas. If one of the designs turns out well, I'd consider making a proper version from more durable materials.

A few questions:

Has anyone here made custom spinners or similar fidgets? I'd love to hear about your experience or see photos of your projects.

One thing I'm struggling to figure out is the threaded connection for the center. I'm not talking about a complete middle part, but just the threaded hardware that joins the two spinner caps together through the bearing. Are there ready-made parts available? For early prototypes, would a simple bolt and nut be a reasonable solution?

Am I right that most compact spinners use R188 bearings?

Any recommendations for bearings? I live in a small town, so my options are mostly AliExpress or local industrial bearing suppliers. Unfortunately, getting packages from the US or Europe isn't really an option for me.

I'd really appreciate any advice, resources, or lessons learned along the way. Thanks!

Torqbar Ti: [$150]

Like new stonewashed titanium body and buttons, comes with box and two extra high performance bearings. Spins great, perfectly balanced. The OG fidget spinner, the one that started it all.

Hey all! I looked through the wiki but almost all the sites didn’t have anything I wanted in stock.

I’m looking for a classic three armed fidget spinner, but I’m looking for one that’s really high quality. Metal or plastic is fine (lighter is better), but I want it to be really quiet and not have any manufacturing defects like sharps seams left over from the injection molding.

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but does anyone have any recommendations for a site that has something like that in stock?

Blacktopworks dark river

I recently just picked my my first spinners and fell in love, there both bar spinners tho and I'd like to try a good tri. I've been thinking about the trefoil from metal toys as I've had previous things from them and they always deliver amazing quality stuff but I'm looking for any recommendations!

Budget is around £60 give or take
