finger spinners laser cut

I'm still pinching interesting designs off the web. I signed up to DXFdownloads. Lots of adverts (annoying) but they do have some interesting free downloads. The DXF format can be imported into Lightburn (and Inkscape).

The finger spinner design loaded in Lightburn looked like this:

Quite confusing. But it turned out that this was three different versions of the spinner. Thanks for the help from George and Pat for sorting this out.

The construction took a while since it required gluing many fasteners into place. So far I've constructed two out of three of the finger spinners. Some of the fasteners fell through the laser cutter grid and I couldn't retrieve them all.

Anyway, they spin nicely! A satisfying project!
