A base was modeled to provide different keyed posts for testing the keyed spinner. All the keyed posts modeled previously were so small that they would not create significant differences in the wobbling no matter which direction the compass pointed. A hole in the center was also printed to test an ordinary #4 brass screw. Each test post was spaced to provide enough room for unimpeded movement.
