This design is an entry into the Vectary Design Competition sponsored by MakeX
An iPhone 7 cover designed to look like a classic rotary phone that actually spins.
The rotary part is designed like a fidget spinner so that the circle with holes actually spins like an old rotary phone. There are 3 circles that come together -- the center circle (with all the holes) fits around an r188 bearing, and the lower circle (with the numbers) and inner circle are actually bearing caps. Once assembled, it should spin like a fidget spinner with just a center bearing.
Here are videos of it spinning:
This model is based on my previous model "Rotary iPhone 7 Cover," which looks similar but doesn't spin.
Note: This version is an update of my older project. The bearing caps fit the r188 bearing more snugly in this version.
This model was created with VECTARY - the free, online 3D modeling tool

The parts need to printed separately and then assembled for it to spin. This design requires a single r188 bearing.
Print in these groupings (Times are base on PLA with 10% infill on a Qiditech Dual extrusion printer):
1. iphone-7-case: this is the actual case for the phone. (~1 hour, no raft, no supports)
2. Outer-circle-bearing-cap + numbers (+ number-circles optional): This is the lower circle that seres as a bearing cap. You can include the "number-circles" file as well if you want the circles around the numbers to be a different color than the rest of the base. (~30 minutes without "number-circles," no raft, no supports) *Note: Use the "numbers-bigger-digits" file if your printer has difficulty extruding the narrower digits in the original "numbers" file.
3. Middle-circle-w-holes + pin: The ball bearing fits in the center hole. One assembled, you can use the outer holes to "spin" the rotary phone. (~25 minutes, with minimal supports, no raft)
4: Inner-circle-bearing-cap: This is the top circle and serves as the other bearing cap. (~10 minutes, no rafts, no supports)
