This is a dreidel (sevivon) for your next Hanukkah party!

Features and variations

The base dreidel comes in several variations, based on 3 features (8 models in total):

  • Diaspora version (D): The D versions have a shin (ש) instead of a pe (פ). In some traditions, the pe is used in Israel whereas the shin is used outside of Israel.
  • Screw mount (S): The screw mount is for use with the easy-spin stand. This is a great way for small children to spin the dreidel without it flying across the room. It will also spin fairly well without the stand.
  • Pointy bottom (P): The bottom can be pointy or smooth. I recommend the smooth one for smaller children, although it doesn't spin as well.

You can look for these letters in the filename to pick the right one.

Printing instructions
  • Print the dreidel as oriented in the .stl file (upside down). You shouldn't need any supports.
  • Print the handle as oriented in the .stl file (upside down). You may need a brim, which is included in the .gcode file.
  • Use a drop of super glue on the threads as you attach the handle to the dreidel. It's probably not going anywhere.
Easy-Spin stand
  • You can print the optional Easy-Spin stand and use it with the screw mount dreidels. Choose either the 50 mm or 80 mm diameter.
  • To install: thread the dreidel onto the stand, and after a few turns it will drop into place.
  • To remove: lift the dreidel up until it reaches the threading, then unscrew it.
Safety notes
  • The dreidel has rounded edges to make it a bit safer, though supervision of children is always required.
  • The pointy versions are… well… pointy. Not recommended for small children.
  • The handle by itself is a choking hazard for small children. Make sure to glue it well so it can't be removed.
