2024-07-29 (M) GrinderCompassMKIII REV22 tuning the spinner top

I experimented with two different spinner tops by installing them onto spinner bases with magnets, nuts, and bolts. The 4-spoke design seemed the most likely to be successful. I made the spokes four times thicker to increase support and dropped the axle holder by three millimeters. I also printed a version with thin spokes in the new position.

I experimented with different configurations in the printing software, such as using supports versus printing directly on the platen. The resin adheres to the print bed well, so both seemed like worthy experiments.
The thicker spokes and 3 millimeter drop should make a usable spinner
