Cutting the Batman Shape Out
Cut three shapes out of the boards with a utility knife, cut holes for the hex nuts, glue them together using wood glue.
Drill a hole at the center, the diameter of the hole is equal to the outside diameter of the outer tube(of ink tube).
Sand with sandpaper until everything is smooth and perfect.
Make Two Center Caps and Four Cover Caps, Place Balanced Weights
Take the remaining 4 Jumbo craft sticks to make the caps.
Press the hex nuts inside the hex holes then gluing the cover caps into the hex nut places.
Cutting a piece of ink tube and a piece of outer tube (get from ballpoint pen)
Paint the Fidget Spinner and Center Caps
Paint the entire Fidget Spinner and the caps with black acrylic color using a paintbrush.
Let it dry completely.
Assembling and Testing
Press fit the piece of outer tube inside the center hole of
Fidget Spinner then press the piece of ink tube inside the outer tube.
And then again press fit the top and bottom caps on to the ink tube.
You can use bearings instead of ink tube of ballpoint pen that will work perfectly.
