D6 Spinner
Imagine you're playing a board game, but can't find a six sided die. Printing one is
no good, since printed dice haven't been proven to be balanced. A dice is not the only
way to choose a number from one to six. With 3D printing a custom enclosed spinner
can be printed, so you'll never be at a loss for a random number.
The toy robot in the last chapter isn't the only way a 3D printed object can be made to
move. In this chapter we'll explore the creation of an object designed to move in the
manner of a simple machine, with a simple gear powered by a common spring, as
found in a pen or mechanical pencil.
