It's a spinning top optimized for a good runtime, but without the need for additional parts (like a ball bearing for the tip). My best run was two and a half minutes.
Print with 100% infill and random seam placement.
Sanding the tip helps a lot. Try to get a nice rounded tip in the center of the tip part.
Optional printing tips:
- avoid crossing perimeters (if stringing is an issue)
- split into objects, add modifiers for the two parts:
- main body: variable layer height to add finer details for the spokes, might help a bit with air resistance.
- tip: 0.17mm layer height (for smoother screwing);
0% infill, 0 bottom layers, 3 perimeters to reduce some dead weight. - —or— use the 3mf file in PrusaSlicer, where all that is implemented
