print it / Retro Gyro Spinning Top
This is a gyroscope where you can push the Screw to make it spin infinitely. Even while it's running!
I reverse engineered a very old toy for this. I had always been wondering how it worked.
You need
1 Bottom
1 Top
1 Screw
1 Plate
1 Cover
7 Connectors (I like to print them in PETG)
The tool is optional and helps with Assembly.
Print settings
Standard. No supports.

I made an Assembly Video: Watch the video
Technical Data
one Gyro takes roughly 4.5 hours to print and 90g of filament.
I used Protopastas Midnight and Marine dream Blue in the pictures.
