Summary

I think, this is a very interesting and astonishing spin top :-)

But I had a lot of trouble with printing the base from the original version upside, because the current version of CURA doesn't put the sharp edge completely at the base, and so the first layers of the base are printed in mid air :-(

Therefore I changed the design of the base a little bit, so there is a flat ground to lay on the print bed. With this modification there was no hassle to print it.
For the top I used the stl from the original:

Because the clearance is very low between the two parts, I had to hammer the top in a little bit. So there was no need for any glue.
