Spinning Top with Articulated Arms

<p><img src="http://media.giphy.com/media/39l4CyareyrdR1u2fY/giphy.gif" alt="gif"></p> I was inspired by the recently featured articulated butterfly to design a spinning top that has articulated arms. The butterfly can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2810756 I wanted the spinning top to be easy to print, so it prints in two pieces (the main body/arms and the handle). The main body is printed upside down to minimize support. I also made an interesting comparison of how much it would cost to 3D print vs CNC machine the top, as a kind of “what if” we didn’t have 3d printing. This comparison really highlights how amazing 3D printing is for the home designer.
