Christmas Present Gyro Ornament

thingiverse

I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but who doesn't love the holidays?! In my excitement for the season, I decided to make some ornaments ahead of time. I wanted to try my hand at making some sort of gyroscope, so I combined my excited spirit of the holidays with a gyro! This ornament is a little square present that spins in the center in all different directions, much like a gyroscope. It's a simple print that spins right off the printer for a fun ornament to add to the Christmas tree this year. Plus, it adds a fun "maker" twist to your holidays! I got inspiration to make a gyroscope-like design from designs by atartanian and gianfranco, who both make amazing gyroscopes! Enjoy, and happy holidays!

However, a raft isn't 100% necessary. Let me know if anything seems off or problematic with your prints!
