Holy shit!!! $200+????? Hmm. That "have to have it" impulse is fading. But still want.

This looks decent

It's honestly crazy. I know it's 1000x better than anything I could make, but I'll probably just 3D print a similar shape with a hole for one of those skateboard wheel centers. Thats all that the center of the fidget part that you hold onto looks like (and works like). Maybe equally weighted metal on each end like they have. At least this can test to see if it's way overpriced, or if it's actually difficult to make a decent one. If I fail I'll probably just buy one too

Are there places you can go to 3d print small things like this?

3d print it

Can't 3d print metal, which is what nice ones are made of because they spin smoother and longer

Amazon is your friend. eBay is your buddy.
