I wanted to make spinning top for my son as he is currently enjoying these kind of toys. As my 3D printed was now busy at the moment I new what needed to be done :)

Designing this top was pretty simple - few minutes tinkering in Fusion 360 to get the perfect shape and figure out the best was to be able to print it on my 3D printer.

Printing and Assembly

3D Printed Spinning Top - 2 minutes spin!

I used Nebula Light Green PLA for the print. 5 perimeters and 20% infill. More perimeters or infill should theoretically conclude in better spinning time due to higher mass.

Print both part laying on the flat sides - no supports are necessary.

Assembly is straightforward - just force-push the handle into the body and it is done.

Let me know how long you were able to spin!
