Christmas Present Gyro Ornament

thingiverse

I'm already counting down the days until Thanksgiving, but who needs to wait for the holiday season when you can start celebrating now? I decided to get into the festive spirit by making some ornaments ahead of schedule. Combining my excitement for the holidays with a gyro was a stroke of genius - and that's exactly what I did! This ornament is a small, square present that spins around its center in all directions, just like a gyroscope. It's a simple design that prints right off the printer, making it an awesome addition to your Christmas tree this year. Plus, it adds a fun twist of DIY flair to your holiday decorations! I got my inspiration from amazing designs by atartanian and gianfranco, who are both masters of creating gyroscopes. Enjoy, and happy holidays in advance!

A raft isn't necessary, but it does make things simpler. Let me know if you have any issues or problems with your prints!
