Gyroscopic Snowflake

thingiverse

Q: What do you get if you cross a snowflake with a gimbal? A: A gyroscopic snowflake! It actually works! Can there be any better Christmas decoration? There are three variants: -small , (Gimbal snowflake star small.STL) -medium (Gimbal snowflake star.STL) and -big (Gimbal snowflake.STL). Update I: I made an other one: Small, shape of a snowflake and a little thinner. Quick to print. (Gimbal snowflake small and flat.STL), see http://www.thingiverse.com/image:213186 Update II: If snowflakes within snowflakes (flakeception?) are a thing you are into, then check out my other snowflake thing: Shadowflake thingiverse.com/thing:34850 Instructions Print it (maybe scale it before). Gently twist the parts to release the parts from each other (be careful!). Attach some (invisible) string and hang it anywhere you like. Please give Feedback. Enjoy your gyroscopic / gimbal snowflake!
