2 [Neodymium Cup Magnets] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01NAEF59W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_wrZ6ybYNF05FF) glued together (Note the magnets will repell slightly because they're backwards, I held them together while they dried with a potato bag clip)

The glue I used was Gorilla glue, the one that dries white and expands some. It worked really really well. I could scrape it off with my knife if there was too much but it's also incredibly strong. I recommend this over soldering because the ball needs a tiny bit of space as a track to roll around and because the glue expanded it provided a track to go around. Otherwise solder it if you have a mini washer to use as a spacer.
I've also dropped it on hard floor a few times and no marks or any signs of damage.
The only real difference from this an the Orbiter is that the centers are incredibly attractive unlike the Orbiter, they are also not as concave but the ball will still fit into the divot. But because of the high attraction it won't roll around in that divot but you can still run your thumb around the stationary ball which feels nice. There is also a hole in the center of this so I can expand on this toy too :)
Sorry, it's 3/4 inch...
