This spinning top is designed to achieve spin times over 2 minutes, utilizing careful mass balancing and the effect of centrifugal force.
Inside the body are housed 6 steel spheres of 8mm, symmetrically distributed, which increase inertia and ensure a stable, smooth, and spectacular spin.
The design is optimized for 3D printing and combines constructive simplicity with high performance, making it perfect as both a demonstration object and a technical toy.
🖨️ Printing Tips
- Recommended material: PETG
Offers good mechanical strength. - Post-processing:
To achieve an even smoother surface and further improve the spin, it is recommended to finish with fine-grit sandpaper. - Alternative: PLA
Easily printable and suitable for those looking for a quick solution, with excellent spin results.
⚙️ Key Features
- 6 integrated steel spheres
- Spin exceeding 2 minutes
- High stability due to balancing
- Ideal for precision tests and physical demonstrations
Have fun experimenting with materials, finish, and launch speed to achieve maximum performance!
