This toy reminds me of Beyblades I saw kids playing with lately. I've decided to recreate this because of those fond memories. Watch how well this tutorial explains it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3k3kHwKiuY UPDATE My friend's printer had a tough time printing the cap that fits on top. So, I adjusted some things in this version. Try printing at more than 40% infill density instead of 20%. When it's too light, you can't use it for battles. Instructions: Assembly Use Type A for screws or Type 2 for nails. 1. Put a screw or nail into the middle of it. 2. Place the cap on and make sure it stays by using epoxy if needed. Spinning it: 1. Use a rope or shoe lace, and put one loop around the top. 2. Pull the string down tightly in a clockwise direction around the middle screw. 3. First two to three loops need to be snugly wrapped while rest of them should stay loose for easy grip. 4. Finally toss it like you would whip someone sideways and watch how nicely this toy spins.
