Everspin Spinning Tops

thingiverse

Overview Spinning tops are a very interesting toy, with a small twist they can run for quite a while. What makes them more interesting is that with small tweaks and adjustments to them, you can improve the duration and the beauty of each spin; this is why I wanted to submit a spinning top compatible with the customizer. I highly encourage you to tap the "Open in Customizer" button and make your own spinning top creation! See a video here: https://youtu.be/XNZ2iiUVdis. Read more about it on my blog. Customization Hit the "Open in Customizer" button to customize this top. I wanted to make this design as customizable as I can, you can set: The number of rings Multiple properties on the rings to adjust their appearance. Properties of the shaft and point for spinning balance. Mechanical properties, such as thickness and snugness so it prints best on your printer. Pre-Rendered I have also uploaded some pre-rendered if you want to download and print a unit immediately, but I highly recommend opening the customizer and putting in your own values! Challenge I am interested to see what parameters will get this design to spin the longest, if you think you've found a combination that performs well, please do share a video! A Minor Request If you make this item, please take a moment to take a photograph and upload it to the "makes" section! It makes me very happy to see people print my designs!
