Principles of conservation are essential to the physical understanding of the universe. When thinking about its teaching, especially aimed at basic education, experimental activities can be great allies for its understanding. In this article, we present a demonstrative model using a fidget spinner arranged in a structure constructed using 3D printing techniques. Designed to contribute to the understanding of concepts related to the conservation of angular momentum, our model was designed for being easy to replicate, especially by physics teachers.
