The Dinner Spinner (20+ Logos Included)

Ever feeling indecisive about where to eat? Find yourself in a “no, where do YOU want to eat” battle with your spouse? Meet the Dinner Spinner!

Make My Sign Info

This model is powered by Make My Sign from MakerWorld (www.makerworld.com/en/makerlab/MakeMySign). Using Make My Sign and their SVG import tool, anyone can create additional logos or custom text for things like chores, activities, date night, games to play, etc. Most of the SVGs for the restaurants shown came from either https://worldvectorlogo.com/ or https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SVG_logos_of_fast_food_restaurants#.

To create your own logos or custom pieces to fit in the box, use the following settings in Make My Sign (these settings will minimize the amount of color changes as well):

• 50mm x 50mm Shape
• 10mm Corner Radius
• Medium Border with 0mm Offset
• Thicknesses:
  • Base Plate - 1mm
  • Text & Sticker - 0.2mm
  • SVG - 0.2mm
  • Shapes - 0.2mm

When you download a custom piece, I recommend downloading the 3MF file as it makes coloring much easier (don't color by face but color by part under the “Objects” tab instead). There are also some tricks I learned like using “Negative Part” type and deleting overlapping parts that come with the SVG to get the exact coloring you want.

Assembly Instructions

Each of the logos snap into place in the back of the dinner spinner. I recommend either:

• Printing all pieces except the logos, then one logo, and then scale the logo in ~0.1% increments until you get the fit you want. Then print the rest of the logos at the same scale.
• Printing the logos you want and then the fitment test piece. Depending on that fitment you can adjust the scale in ~0.1% increments until you get the fit you want. Then scale the dinner spinner, spinner, spinner axis, and optional backing plate the same amount.

There are spots for two 5mm x 2mm thick magnets (https://a.co/d/8JerZ9a) to be glued in each corner for putting it on the fridge. I ended up adding a third magnet to each corner that sticks out a little bit to make it more secure to the fridge.

There is also an optional backing plate that has a cutout for mounting to a wall if wanted.

Thanks for viewing, downloading, rating, etc. Any feedback is welcome!
