Summary

UPDATE: After experimenting with slicing the tops in half and gluing the two halves together, I've decided that's the best way to go. I've uploaded top and bottom halves as OBJ files because that was the only way I found to resolve the mesh errors that slicing the tops in 2 pieces generated. I've also uploaded my PrusaSlicer 3MF file for them. I initially had bed adhesion issues, but I resolved them by adjusting the gap between the brim and the objects.

Thanks go to @CoMet on Printables.com for showing me my tops can be printed in 2 pieces and easily glued together precisely enough to spin as well or better than when I printed them as 1 piece.

I've created a version of my top using rainbow colors. If you'd like to replicate it, here are the layer details (assuming 0.1mm layer height):

0 - 144 Purple
145 - 188 Blue
189 - 217 Green
218 - 291 Yellow
292 - 439 Orange
440+ Red

I've uploaded new versions of the top that have slightly different geometry just above the ring. If you want to print your top in multiple colors, this lets you print the ring in one color and the parts above it in another color to bring out the flower pattern.

This is based on my earlier Ultimate Open Lattice Top. This has 6 points, rather than 8, prints without a raft, and has a more open design.

It's a modern take on a classic toy. I've gone through a lot of designs for tops with holes to create one that looks great, prints cleanly, and spins really well.

The top prints as a single piece so you don't have to get separate pieces to line up.

The top looks great in one color, but I prefer to change colors as it prints.
