Fidgeting can help with concentration, relieve anxiety, or just give you something to do. I am constantly playing with random objects with my hands when I am thinking and creating. Some are not so quiet and possibly disruptive to others(see video). When I discovered these simple fidget
tools - yes these are tools - I knew I had to make some.

In the rare instance of a loose bearing fitment, a small dab of CA glue on the outside of the bearing will secure them permanently. Another method(my preference) a small strip of scotch tape, or similar thin tape, around part of the bearing causing a slightly more snug fit and more friction, while still allowing the bearings to be removed and replaced with other colours/types. I have only needed to do this on one early version of a model, and it was only after I had removed and installed the bearings several time. New version have much tighter fitment.***
