Description
Please consider giving me a BOOST to help me keep making free files.
As you rotate the Gyro Orb in your hands, all 12 internal gyro elements start spinning, creating a smooth and mesmerizing motion. It’s one of those objects you just don’t want to put down — simple, tactile, and really fun to play with.
At the same time, it looks amazing on a desk. With the moving parts visible, it works just as well as a display piece as it does a fidget.
Here is a short video with demo and assembly:

Parts
- 12 × Enclosures with Gyro Elements
- 12 × Pins
- 1 × Core
Printing Tip
I’d recommend using silk filament, so there’s less friction between the parts and the gyro spins longer.
Before printing the full model, it is strongly recommended to print one test set (1 enclosure + 1 gyro + 1 pin).
Once everything works as expected, you can proceed with printing the complete model.
You can also try rainbow or dual-color filament — it looks really cool when the gyros spins.
