Spinning flower top

This is simple spinning top generator with several parameters. Tops should be very easy to print with PLA.

I also uploaded a few STL examples.

You can change several parameters in three different ways:

• Use the customizer (here)
• Play with BlockSCAD
• Download the OpenSCAD file.

  Print Settings

Printer:

Felix Pro 1

Rafts:

No

Supports:

No

Resolution:

Any

Infill:

Any

Filament: Any PLA

Notes:

It's probably better to add some heavy fill, e.g. 50%. It makes it less prone to breaking and it probably will spin a bit longer.

You also can print this with a TPE that does not warp much, e.g. flexible PLA or Ninja Flex.

How I Designed This

I did this with BlocksCAD

I wasn't satisfied with the spinning top I could make from this plus a pencil. So I modified the code a bit. I also wanted to create an example with some functions and feature three different variants for computing the petals.
