Flat Spinning Top

thingiverse

A spinning top with weight concentrated on the edges ensures stability via gyroscopic effects. Its spoked design further minimizes central weight. To spin, hold the edges like a plate or bottle, or place fingers in between spokes. A handle is planned for future versions. The top works well on soft surfaces and even table cloths. Various iterations include different grip designs and M6/M10 screw thread options. Version 11 features periodic holes at the bottom. A video shows a cat stopping the spin, adding a humorous touch.
