Dreidel with Easy-Spin Stand for Kids

This is a dreidel (sevivon) for your next Hanukkah party!

Features and variations

The base dreidel comes in several variations, based on 3 features (8 models in total):

• Diaspora version (D): The D versions have a shin (ש) instead of a pe (פ). In some traditions, the pe is used in Israel whereas the shin is used outside of Israel.
• Screw mount (S): The screw mount is for use with the easy-spin stand. This is a great way for small children to spin the dreidel without it flying across the room. It will also spin fairly well without the stand.
• Pointy bottom (P): The bottom can be pointy or smooth. I recommend the smooth one for smaller children, although it doesn't spin as well.

You can look for these letters in the filename to pick the right one.

Printing instructions

• Print the dreidel as oriented in the .stl file (upside down). You shouldn't need any supports.
• Print the handle as oriented in the .stl file (upside down). You may need a brim, which is included in the .gcode file.
• Use a drop of super glue on the threads as you attach the handle to the dreidel. It's probably not going anywhere.

Easy-Spin stand

• You can print the optional Easy-Spin stand and use it with the screw mount dreidels. Choose either the 50 mm or 80 mm diameter.
• To install: thread the dreidel onto the stand, and after a few turns it will drop into place.
• To remove: lift the dreidel up until it reaches the threading, then unscrew it.

Safety notes

• The dreidel has rounded edges to make it a bit safer, though supervision of children is always required.
• The pointy versions are… well… pointy. Not recommended for small children.
• The handle by itself is a choking hazard for small children. Make sure to glue it well so it can't be removed.
