Summary

This design was inspired by the Impossible Pyramid Passthrough and the question “can you make it spin?". The design is completely from scratch and in contrast to the pyramid, this uses two separate, subtly different shapes for the enclosing base and the top.

See it in action here.

Note that there are two versions of the spinning top: one that requires a 10mm bearing ball and one that doesn't
