I have always got great compliments at weddings and functions wearing this as it is very unique. 
I am uploading here on Printables to keep it in one place and because I made some tolerance modifications. I also resized it and fixed model errors. 

Directions
  1. Print in two (or more)  of your favourite colours 
    • 1x Base 
    • 1x Top
    • 1x Loop
    • 2xLarge Gear
    • 1x Small Gear
  2. Snap fit together depending on printer tolerances. (You can always drill the holes of the gears and cover bigger to fit. Rather too tight than too loose)
  3. I always add a dab of super glue just to make sure it stays together, dance floors are a different game…. 
  4. Thread a ribbon through the hoop, I would use a wide ribbon and squeeze it through to give more stability, but up to you.
