Body: <p>I am building a fidget spinner out of LEGO and need two parts to help it spin better while not being extremely loose. The only part I can think of that would work would be a Technic 1M Half Beam, but I don't know if it exists. Does that piece exist? If so, where can I buy it from? If not, do you know of any piece that would work just as well?</p>

  If I understand your question, you are seeking a spacer that can spin freely on a Technic axle. Essentially, you want a 1/2 bush that has a round hole rather than an axle hole. I don't believe that this piece exists in Technic.
  
  The old [Technic Hub/Handle (424)](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=424#T=C) may do what you want, but it is thicker than a 1/2 bush:
  
  [![Part 424](https://i.sstatic.net/J5LdD.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/J5LdD.jpg)
  
  Failing that, a minifig ring may work for what you need if you have one handy:

  Feel free to post pictures of your WIP and we may be able to provide better suggestions if those don't work.
  
  Edit:
  
  Now that you've posted a photo, I wonder if a 1/2 Bush might just work:
  
  ![32123](https://i.sstatic.net/n4piK.jpg)
  
  Edit2:
  
  I've now had a chance to play around with some alternate designs, and the one that I like best simply replaces the 2x2 plate and 2x2 tile with this wheel hub (3482):
  
  [![3482](https://i.sstatic.net/EBRqY.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/EBRqY.jpg)
  
  This is solid and has a nice feel in the hand. It gives you the flexibility to have this rotate as tightly or loosely as you'd like.
  
  Some [others](https://rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-8282/Totobricks/lego-fidget-spinner-7/) like to just use an additional 2x2 round plate:
