Spinning Hexagonal Parts

grabcad

A model - developed by me - of a SPINNING TOP with 6 hexagonal parts on 6 bolts, for using this design to get two random results like two dice results with one throw.The 6 hexagonal parts rotate about the y-axis of the spinning top and about their own bearing axis, when touching the ground.My construction may be comparable with components on a chain carousel.In place of six chains I used six bolts.In place of the 6 hexagonal components you can use also 6 hexagonal nuts (M8).A 3D printed prototype has already successfully been tested.Random results have been shown even on a rougher wooden surface.The model is available in the STEP (.stp)- and STL (.stl) format.Dice numbers with a height of 5 mm are available in the (.pdf) format,for printing out, cutting using a scissor and placing them by glueing on.
