Design Concept

This spinning top is designed to rotate with a pen tip or string as its pivot point. Featuring a vibrant color scheme, the model is not only eye-catching but also enhances interactive fun for players.

 
Usage

Suitable for players of all ages, this top serves both as a toy that improves hand-eye coordination and as an interesting decorative piece that can be displayed in a room.

 
Printing Recommendations

It is recommended to use high-resolution settings to ensure clear color separation, and to choose impact-resistant materials for improved durability. Additionally, an infill rate of 20%–30% is sufficient to meet strength requirements.

 
Assembly Instructions

Only simple assembly is required after printing. If the fit between the axle and the rotor is loose, a small amount of glue can be used. To operate, thread a string approximately 1mm in diameter through the axle, wrap it around a few times, and pull it sharply to set the top spinning. Once spinning, the top can be placed on a pen tip, a base, or even on the string itself, where it will continue to spin steadily. The side with the notch should be placed on the string to allow the top to slide along it.
