Spinning Tops

thingiverse

Update 1: Designs 3 and 4 look great but don't spin as smoothly, while 1, 2, and 5 perform nicely on a relatively flat surface. I've just added Spinner 6 and it's now being printed; I'll update with its results soon. My five-year-old grandson is absolutely crazy about my customized fidget spinners, but his favorite pastime is deliberately crashing them into each other, which unfortunately led to two broken units - fortunately, a $15 3D printing pen from Ebay (best purchase ever) helped me fix them. Given that he enjoys spinning objects on the table so much, I decided to try designing some spinning tops using Tinkercad; these are the results of my efforts. After successfully testing the first two designs, I'm now printing out the final three.
