Twisted Spinning Top - Spins like forever

Intro

A clean and elegant twisted spinning top that spins incredibly long and stable. Perfect as a small desk toy, fidget, or simply a beautiful kinetic object.

The twisted body is not only a visual highlight – it also helps to keep the top well balanced while spinning.

Why you’ll love it?

• Very long spin time thanks to its well-balanced geometry

• Simple and reliable print – no supports required

• Elegant twisted design that looks great while rotating

• Perfect as a gift, desk toy or fidget

Recommended print settings

• Nozzle: 0.4

• Layers: 0.2

• Infill: 100%

• Perimeters: 2

• Thick bridges

• Filament: I recommend to use PLA or PETG (see below)

• Steel sheet: I recommend to use a satin or textured steel sheet.

• Print the body part facing the opening to the print bed

If the thread seems to be very tight, you may try one of these options:

• Enable to print the external perimeters first

• Make sure the filament is dry

• Use some graphite (this sure is the last option, but it may be an option for some users)

Extra: If you want to run the spinning top smooth, you may want to sand the tip a little bit with very fine sanding paper.
