Why settle for a hexagon when you can have a pentagon, an octagon, or even a 32-sided spinner? Introducing the Ultimate Polygon Spinner, a print-in-place toy that you can customize
!
This model allows you to customize everything from the number of sides to the overall size and feel. Create a small, tight pentagon spinner or a large, loose 20-sided disc—the choice is yours. It prints as a single piece, no assembly or supports required, and comes off the build plate ready to spin!

Main Dimensions
TotalHeight: Sets the overall thickness of the spinner from top to bottom. A smaller value like 8 makes it slim and sleek, while a larger value like 15 makes it chunkier and easier to grip.
CenterHoleRadius: Controls the size of the hole in the middle.
Ring & Shape Count
NumberOfRings: Determines how many concentric rings your spinner will have. Fewer rings (e.g., 15) create a smaller, more compact fidget. More rings (e.g., 30) create a larger, more impressive spinner with more movement.
ShapeSides: This is the fun part! It sets the number of sides for the polygon.
5 = Pentagon
6 = Hexagon (the classic)
8 = Octagon
32 = Nearly a circle!
Ring Properties
RingWallThickness: Changes how thick the wall of each individual ring is. A thicker wall makes the spinner feel more solid and durable.
Variable Ring Gap
DesiredInnerGap: The space between the first five rings near the center. A smaller number here (like 0.6mm) makes the center feel tighter.
DesiredOuterGap: The space between all the remaining outer rings. A larger number here (like 1.0mm) lets the outer rings move more freely, loosely, and with more jingle.
Be careful with this setting…set this too low and the rings might fuse together during printing! But also if yopu set to high the rings could come apart from rach other.
Slope Settings
LockingSlope: This controls the steepness of the internal angle that locks the rings together. A larger value creates a more pronounced "V" shape, which can create a more satisfying tactile feel and sound. The default value is a great starting point.
Geometric Tolerances (Advanced)
PrintToleranceHelper: This is a background setting that helps the software render the model correctly. You can safely ignore this one! The default is perfect for 99% of prints.
Printing Guidance
🧼 Start with a Clean Build Plate! This is the most important step. For a successful print-in-place model, excellent first-layer adhesion is critical. The base of the spinner is made of many individual rings that need to stick perfectly. Please make sure your build plate is clean and free of oils or dust. A quick wipe with warm water and soap or isopropyl alcohol (IPA) is highly recommended.
Filament: PLA works perfectly (Silk or multicolor PLA looks incredible!). PETG will also work for a more durable feel.
