What are they?
Spinning toys with moving parts that people with certain learning styles find helpful. It's been suggested that they can serve as focus enhancers or stress reducers. Note that we do not recommend our standard spinners for small children.

How fast are they?
We use steel bearings, which we treat to remove the grease, then lubricate. Speed varies, but can be improved through use. They aren't as fast as spinners with ceramic bearings. Heavier spinners (e.g. Krull Glaive, Conjoined Awesome) are faster than some regular ones; the minis are slowest because of their light weight.

How durable are they?
See FAQ about Caring for Stuff.

Are they silent, or quiet?
Silent: No. We think they're pretty quiet (they whirr some; YMMV).

The estimated shipping date listed with each item is our worst-case scenario. Processing time is usually less than that: we do our best to get most items out within 3 business days (depending on time of order), but volume & supplies could put shipping closer to the stated estimate. Deluxe spinners can take longer.

How fast it _gets_ to you is up to the postal service. First class mail seems to take 2-4 days, but they don't make any guarantees. Priority delivery (1-3 days) is an option. We don't have info. on international mail at this time.

We do our best to mark an order shipped the day it's actually going out. You should get a notification from Etsy that day. US-bound packages all have tracking that should be active by that evening.

Our 3D-printed objects are made from a filament called PLA, a biodegradable plastic made from renewable resources like corn starch.
* Avoid high temperatures, which can warp plastic. Some colors will bleach in sunlight, so don’t leave in the car.
* Don’t submerge in water – PLA isn’t waterproof. Wipe with a damp towel or baby wipe.
* Breakage: No plastic item is unbreakable. Like all things, fidget spinners, etc. can be scuffed, chipped or broken if dropped. Focused pressure or twisting can break them.

Spinner Advisories:
* Fidget spinners, by definition, spin, & spinning things can catch on hair. Don't use near hair.
* Our regular fidget spinners are not intended for small children due to moving metal parts, size, protrusions & openings.

How do I pick colors?
Look for dropdowns at the top right of most listings near the price. Primary color is the main color (e.g. body of spinner). Secondary is the accent color (e.g. grip). If there are no dropdowns, the color is set,

Glow-in-the-Dark: Does the glow wear off?
Like any glow-in-the-dark plastic, you need to hit it with a bright light to make it glow, and it glows for a few minutes afterward. The regular glow (greenish) plastic glows for a few minutes; the blue glows for ~ a minute. They glow brighter & last a little longer if hit with a UV light. FYI: The glow plastics are slightly more brittle than other colors.

Are your bronze/gold/silver items actually metallic?
No. They are colored PLA plastic w/ a metallic-like sheen

Possibly! If it’s not a copy of someone else’s work or copyright protected*, we can discuss a custom order. There is a fee for custom designs, plus the actual item cost & shipping (we need your country to calculate), due before production starts. If it's our design, we reserve the right to list it or a similar version in the future.

SPINNERS
Custom designs for spinners start at $25, plus the spinners and shipping, paid in advance.

The most important thing to understand about the spinners is that they have to be the same weight on all sides. They won't spin properly if they're not balanced.
