I have seen many gyro toys on ThingiVerse. However they are not child safe, i.e. they will not survive children throwing them around. So I designed this with a joint which prevents from gyro rings slipping out.

The center is a small globe, which will let it spin horizontally like a spinning top. It also has a small Archimedean spiral.

I printed with supports, but you can skip it if your printer supports it.

2018-Jul-9 : Edited to give little more clearance in first circle.

2019-Aug-6 : Added v4 with 90 degree pivots.

Fusion 360 its mostly parameter driven, so the thickness, height etc can be changed easily.
