Spinning Top Toy with Coil

thingiverse

Mechanical spinning top toy with coil, similar to Yula, old toy from soviet union, only this one doesn't whistle. It has 10 3D printed parts and for better rotation you can screw twelve M10 nuts to the "scirt", the biggest part of the toy. I 3D printed it in PLA. You can add color change at 10.2 mm layer height for the "skirt", then the spiral will be in different color, you don't have to color it by hand. https://youtu.be/geReOCHCWkg In video I am talking about 3 length, the middle one is uploaded to thingiverse. But if you want longer or shorter version, you can download it from my site: http://www.mytechfun.com/video/25 On same page you can download the mini spinning top, for rotating with your fingers (also mentioned in the video). I recommend first parts to print: toptoy_screw_coil.stl and toptoy_nut.stl. Those are main parts of the toy, they should go easly into each other. If not use some sandpaper on the edge of the coil (see the video). There is 0.2mm gap between them. The longest print will be the skirt, but I designed parts, that is there is any problem with nut, coil or clutch (for example broke after long usage), they can be printed separatly as relative small peaces. I printed everything with 0.15mm layer height EXCEPT the toptoy_skirt.stl, this has to be printed with 0.2mm and add color change at 10.2 mm to get spiral colored. Have fun!
