how to build: you need a 3' 10" piece of string, feed both ends through the holes and tie the ends in a knot, creating a loop. to use: put a finger in the loop on each side of the disk. wind up the string by spinning the disk, then pull…

Hang from a fishing swivel for best results- I used a piece of bailing wire down the middle and glued the joints a little. Not sure either of those things are required. I did make this one very large =P Approved by nature~~
I made a vase with the help of the MakerLab. First time making a STL. Hope is okay! I printed the version above in 50% scale.
This remix is much easier to print fast and easy! Remove supports and base, then hang with a swivel.
Note: This is pretty much max overhang allowed- I had to reduce speed as it got taller eventually down to 20% near the top. The slower the better quality. If you go too fast the model may bend and cause extruder crashes. After this…

Summary These are variations of a toy sometimes called a Twirly Whirly. Each one has its own moment of inertia based on geometry. The infill can be changed to adjust the weight of each twirly whirly. When they are spun up, the different…
