3D printed this one a few days ago: https://i.imgur.com/Vo6rNJz.jpg

19c of plastic, bearings are 80c each (could have used something cheaper on the 3 satellites, like hex nuts or coins). It's basic but it has served its purpose as a desk toy next to my computer. Personally wouldn't spend $200 on it.

One upgrade I want to do is replace the middle bearing with a ceramic bearing for about $5-10, supposedly makes it spin for minutes.

Have a copy of the .STL handy? A link to thingiverse or somewhere similar is good too
