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.
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.
