3d printer nerds have been doing this for a while.

Really took off at the start of the year though.

Print them and give them away to people, keep using them after a week to know they are on the spectrum somewhere.

I ordered a 3d printed one with ball bearings in it and it exploded into shrapnel when I spun it with an air gun.

Back when I worked in a machine shop the CNC operators would get the little piece rest bearings going with compressed air and turn them loose. One took off across the floor and hit the sheet metal wall hard enough to dent it.

I blew up a 3d printed spinner with 3 ball bearings instead of flat bearings on the outside with an air gun. One bearing wound up 10-15 feet away from where I was. Thankfully i didnt break anything.
