Tick Tock Top

thingiverse

Hello folks and welcome. This is a new toy I came up with. I was making a puzzle designed by Leisure Luke found here https://www.thingiverse.com/leisureluke/designs and his internal mechanism inspired me. So I designed a variation of it and came up with the toy you see here. I was always a fan of pocket watches that satisfying clicking sound as you wound them up has a certain nostalgia to me. Also love tops. The og fidget spinners hah. So I created this a top with an internal mechanism that when you turn it gives satisfying clicks and a weighted bottom so this top (Almost) never falls over. The low center of gravity due to more infill on the base gives it a weebl like quality that makes it so it can spin out pretty far on its edge and still return to its upright position. It may be simple I love this little toy. I hope you do too. Oh and sorry for the crappy videos.
