Description

PDF

This is a stable, long-running top.

The center of gravity is perfectly aligned(0.009mm) and technology has been incorporated to reduce aerodynamic drag.

!!Emergency Fix!!
Conventional rods are not properly toleranced.
I provide a modified version.

 

Perfect Balance

 

 

 

To provide perfect performance, the center of gravity is aligned to within 0.009mm.

 

 

Also, the rod is hollowed out for low-speed stability of the top.

Moreover, to prevent warping, a 5mm(0.2"-not tested) steel ball was used instead of a print with errors.
It uses only one arm to minimize air resistance.

 

Stability

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks to the perfect alignment, the top is perfectly stationary and moves.

 

Notice

  1. The rod can be 0.2-0.4mm (0.6 max) away from the rotor, this is normal.(Picture below)
  2. Only use solid models if rods do not print properly! Solid rods reduce rotational stability. 
  3. Set the density to 100% but the number of walls to 2! More walls increase the difficulty of printing.
  4. Happy printing:)
