I psyched myself up about how difficult it would be to make a spinner that could hold a couple of bearings. Some of the designs had multiple parts requiring post-printing assembly. One relied on adding miniscule printer resin drops with a syringe to hold bearings. I stopped worrying about perfecting the design and modeled a couple of tabs on the spinner interior. The tabs can hold a small bearing on the top or bottom, and I can add a drop of cyanoacrylate (super glue / CA) through the hole to keep it together. CA does not bond well to metal, so it might not be permanent. I could also use a strip of double-sided tape.
