Overview

Spinning tops are a very interesting toy, with a small twist they can run for quite a while. What makes them more interesting is that with small tweaks and adjustments to them, you can improve the duration and the beauty of each spin; this is why I wanted to submit a spinning top compatible with the customizer. I highly encourage you to tap the "Open in Customizer" button and make your own spinning top creation! See a video here: https://youtu.be/XNZ2iiUVdis. Read more about it on my blog.

Customization

Hit the "Open in Customizer" button to customize this top.

I wanted to make this design as customizable as I can, you can set:

• The number of rings
• Multiple properties on the rings to adjust their appearance.
• Properties of the shaft and point for spinning balance.
• Mechanical properties, such as thickness and snugness so it prints best on your printer.

Pre-Rendered

I have also uploaded some pre-rendered if you want to download and print a unit immediately, but I highly recommend opening the customizer and putting in your own values!

Challenge

I am interested to see what parameters will get this design to spin the longest, if you think you've found a combination that performs well, please do share a video!

A Minor Request

If you make this item, please take a moment to take a photograph and upload it to the "makes" section! It makes me very happy to see people print my designs!
