I saw this on tiktok one day, and figured i would try to make something similar.

To assemble this, you will need about a meter of M6 threaded rod, five M6 nuts and washers and two skateboard bearings. You will also need something to weigh down the pendulum. I chose to chop up six M12 threaded rods, that i wasn't using anyway. -works great.

I also recommend super glueing the shaft together, as well as onto the center block, using the threaded rod inside, to mash it all together. 

 

You will need to print:

  3 perimeters:
    2x wheels
    1x center bushing
    1x pendulum
    1x center block
    5x ( or however many you feel like ) shafts

  2 perimeters:
    1x catcher
    1x asher
    2x center spacers
    4x bearing bushings

The pendulum hat is optional. Just seemed like a good idea to hide the counterweight.
