Dreidel with Easy-Spin Stand for Kids

prusaprinters

<p>This is a dreidel (sevivon) for your next Hanukkah party!</p><h5>Features and variations</h5><p>The base dreidel comes in several variations, based on 3 features (8 models in total):</p><ul><li>Diaspora version (<strong>D</strong>): The D versions have a shin (ש) instead of a pe (פ). In some traditions, the pe is used in Israel whereas the shin is used outside of Israel.</li><li>Screw mount (<strong>S</strong>): The screw mount is for use with the easy-spin stand. This is a great way for small children to spin the dreidel without it flying across the room. It will also spin fairly well without the stand.</li><li>Pointy bottom (<strong>P</strong>): The bottom can be pointy or smooth. I recommend the smooth one for smaller children, although it doesn't spin as well.</li></ul><p>You can look for these letters in the filename to pick the right one.</p><h5>Printing instructions</h5><ul><li>Print the dreidel as oriented in the .stl file (upside down). You shouldn't need any supports.</li><li>Print the handle as oriented in the .stl file (upside down). You may need a brim, which is included in the .gcode file.</li><li>Use a drop of super glue on the threads as you attach the handle to the dreidel. It's probably not going anywhere.</li></ul><h5>Easy-Spin stand</h5><ul><li>You can print the optional Easy-Spin stand and use it with the screw mount dreidels. Choose either the 50 mm or 80 mm diameter.</li><li>To install: thread the dreidel onto the stand, and after a few turns it will drop into place.</li><li>To remove: lift the dreidel up until it reaches the threading, then unscrew it.</li></ul><h5>Safety notes</h5><ul><li>The dreidel has rounded edges to make it a bit safer, though supervision of children is always required.</li><li>The pointy versions are… well… pointy. Not recommended for small children.</li><li>The handle by itself is a choking hazard for small children. Make sure to glue it well so it can't be removed.</li></ul><h5>Links</h5><ul><li>If you'd just a party headband to go with your dreidel, so you always know where it is, you can get one here: <a href="https://www.printables.com/model/309312-dreidel-headband-hairband">https://www.printables.com/model/309312-dreidel-headband-hairband</a></li></ul>
