Spinning Spinning and More Spinning!

thingiverse

I love designing models that really get moving - this one combines several spinning components into something completely unique, like a thrilling acrobatic performance in miniature form! The key elements include bearings that rotate freely, gimbals for stability and balance, spin tops that add a playful touch, and propellers that slice through the air with precision. To make it work seamlessly, I also needed to provide structural supports for those delicate propeller blades at its center. Using my 3D printer, I brought this model to life at a resolution of 0.2mm per layer, and added supports angled within 30 degrees from horizontal - which proved crucial for ensuring the whole thing spins beautifully when turned upside down!
