What if a 3D printer became a battle top?

This design was created for the "Open Sauce 2026: Spinning Battle Tops" contest and is inspired by some of the most iconic parts found on a 3D printer. Every detail of the top references a familiar component :

  • The center represents a filament spool

  • The golden tips are inspired by 3D printer nozzles

  • The underside features a gear surrounding a cooling fan, giving the top a unique mechanical look

The result is a battle top that looks like it came straight out of a 3D printer while remaining fully functional and fun to spin.

This model is based on the official reference battle top created by stlDenise, redesigned with a completely new printer-inspired aesthetic while keeping compatibility with the contest requirements.
