UpDraft Air Spinning Top [GalacTop]

thingiverse

Human: WARNING - THIS SPINNER IS REALLY UNRELIABLE. I AM KEEPING THE MODEL UP FOR REFERENCE ONLY. IF ANYONE HAS ANY IDEAS WHY ITS SO BAD THEN PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT. IF YOU NEED SOMETHING THAT WORKS THEN CHECK OUT THE 2 LINKS BELOW. Another Make_Anything Inspired GalacTop. See original from make_anything here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1768027 or my other versions here http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2037681http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2021692http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2021692 You can find a collection of other Air Powered Spinning Tops here...http://www.thingiverse.com/Hagster/collections/galactops This version is designed to redirect the airstream upward for better stability (THEORY BEHIND IT). The blades of the fan are based on a spherical profile unlike the conical profile of my original. Again, the pitch of the blades is highest in the center and flatter at the edges, just like real aircraft props. I have separated the STL files so you can print in dual color if you have such a machine. It is NOT currently possible to assemble together from separate prints. For standard single material printers use the UpDraftSpinnerSingle.stl file.
