Looper INVERTED (co-op/vs.)

This is a #HOOPERMODCHALLENGE entry! I had so much fun making and playing with my last Hooper mod challenge entry (Check out the Pocket (Accessible) Looper here) that I thought I'd make another one! This time I started completely from scratch rather than using the provided stl and tried to think, what do none of the existing Loopers do? Well, none of them allow for anything other than solo play! What did I do? I inverted the Looper so the ball is visible from the outside which I think is more fun to watch and means everyone can see the ball when playing co-op. The inverted loop encloses the ball and means you're less likely to lose it. It makes solo a little easier but makes co-op/vs. play more fun and still gives a great, more zen, solo experience without totally removing the challenge. I made the whole Looper bigger and added some grips on both sides so it's easier to hold, especially for kids! Despite being bigger, this still works with the standard Looper ball (glass marbles work well too though!) The cut outs mean less contact between the ball and surface and this combined with the bigger circumference of the Looper means you can spin even faster. The solo challenge here is to keep it spinning without the ball falling through the hole at the top of the Looper or to try and control that drop and catch it (same idea as the Hooper - I wanted to keep some key elements of that since that's the model we were given to adapt) The co-op/vs. concept is that you either work together to keep it looping with one person holding each side or try to pass it between you without losing momentum and keep the ball spinning as long as you can - last to drop the ball wins! I've tested both of these with my partner, co-op works well and passing it between you is difficult but not impossible. The grips were placed with co-op in mind - they mean you can hold the looper comfortably from either side so it should be quite easy to have one person on each side or to pass it around, the challenge is to keep the ball spinning while you do it!
