Mechanical expanding spinning top
Print Profile(3)
Description
A spinning top with a secret!
Hidden inside the body is a simple mechanical expanding mechanism that activates from centrifugal force! Give it a spin and as it picks up speed, the internal components slide outward, transforming the spinning top from a compact form into a wider, larger silhouette.
It is a fun blend of a kenetic mechanism toy and part fidget.
Printing notes:

Assembly notes:
- Place the expanding ‘arms’ into the slots of the bottom half of the spinner (as seen in the picture below). Once that step is complete, simply snap on the top of the spinner and you'll have a working spinning top!
