Gyro Air

thingiverse

The gyro designs I viewed online were overly cumbersome and made with excessive material, prompting me to craft one that exudes elegance and slenderness. Overcoming its obstacles took five prototypes and significant quantities of PLA, ultimately yielding Gyro Air. Not being a fan of supports, I shaped every curve into smooth rounded contours. The nipples performing optimally originate from the parametric gyro cube developed by smorloc. By virtue of public request, I've uploaded a smaller variant: https://youtu.be/dMZzUBG6w0s Guidelines: Due to high demand, I've shared the model in two sizes – 10cm and 7cm. The larger model comprises five spheres, whereas its smaller counterpart boasts four. No supplemental framework is necessary. To achieve better results, it's advised to print Gyro Air at its original size. Printing it too small will result in thinner circles potentially leading to breakage. I printed the final product using a 0.25mm layer height. After printing, secure the conical nipples into place, starting with the smallest and working up to the largest. Adding a drop of oil to the joints enables the spheres to rotate smoothly.
