Allan Maman was a 17-year-old boy from the USA. When fidget spinners(指尖陀螺)first came out, he got really interested. He bought some online. When he got them, he found that they were of poor quality(质量). Instead of waiting for someone else to make something better, he decided to make one for himself.
Allan found the way to make it online and tried to make one with his high school's 3D printer(打印机). With the help of his science teacher, Allan made his first fidget spinner! He shared it with his classmates. They thought it was great and everyone wanted one. So, Allan started to make more fidget spinners and sold them in his school.
Later, Allan got more and more orders. So he bought his own 3D printer. He and his friend, Cooper Weiss, also tried to make more people know about their fidget spinners through the Internet. They caught on quickly! Allan and Cooper had to buy more 3D printers and open their shop. But soon they needed more help. So, they found a company (公司)in New York to make fidget spinners for them.
All in all, Allan and Cooper made about $350,000! Many magazines and TV stations reported their success. Allan is now moving on to other inventions(发明). He hopes to make more money and give it back to people in need.
