Gyroscopic Inertia Toy

thingiverse

This is my third attempt at crafting a Gyro top that actually works. My previous two attempts were woefully oversized, rendering them utterly useless. This version boasts a compact design, making it a breeze to assemble, and promises to spin rapidly and steadily if all components are properly aligned. A pair of 22mm bearings (608) and four 16mm bearings fuel the spinning mechanism, ensuring smooth and efficient operation. Assembly is remarkably straightforward, requiring just four M3 bolts and nuts. I'm still tinkering with a shaft, but a long enough M3 bolt and some strategically placed washers should do the trick – there's a hole at the top of part "Frame2_v3" waiting to be exploited. To bring it all together, simply orient the parts so they form a sturdy pyramid-like structure!
