Summary

An easy to print spinning top toy!
Comes with 3 interchangeable tips (I recommend the ball shaped tip if you give the top to your kids)

Inspired by similar designs I thought it would be nice to design my own.
This is the result of several iterations, with some important design elements for long running times:

  • low center of gravity
  • most mass on the outer diameter for best flywheel effect
  • grippy handle piece for good accelaration
  • low air drag
  • "see through"-effect due to slim spoke design

Apart from that, its a nice 2hour-print with high sense of achievement ;-)
