 This instructable is about how to make hand spinner with glowing LED lights! All you need to make a spinner:

  • 3-layer plywood 
  • Bearing (from skateboard, roller...) 
  • LEDs
  • 100 Ohm resistors
  • Mini switch
  • CR battery
  • Wires
  • Sinkers
  • Some instruments

Also you can watch a video with full process of assembling. 

 

Step 1: Bearing

 Take a bearing: skateboard, longboard, or roller-skates.

 The bearing has  grease, it doesn't let bearing spin fast and long time, so use gasoline  to clean bearing. 

 

Step 2: Body of Spinner

 Make the spinner's body of 2 pieces of 3-layer plywood (rectangular  30x100 mm). 

Bearing has 22mm outer diameter, use flat wood or cone drill  bit to make a hole.

 Then fix both halves by screws and process with  sandpaper to create a smooth shape. 

 

Step 3: Electronics

 100 Ohm resistor is for RED and YELLOW LEDs, GREEN LED is without resistor! Watch a scheme. 

 

Step 4: Grooves and Holes


 We to need drill 3 holes almost through body for mounting LEDs. 

And make  some grooves for switch, resistors and wires. Also make a big round  groove for battery. 

 

Step 5: Wiring


 Use soldering iron to connect all components 

 

Step 6: Assembling

 Push bearing inside both parts of body. 

Then make holes and push sinkers  inside, it is for long time spinning (50 seconds for me). 

 

Step 7: Final


THE END
