iTopSpin

I see that this project is still giving a lot to talk about. The truth is that I didn't continue it because I didn't know how to reduce the size of the spinning top to a classic size, on the other hand, the tip should be reinforced to have some resistance to impacts, regarding the use of magnets and ...

The truth is that it does not rotate as I expected, but I like the way it stops, its geometric shape allows it not to escape from the limited surface where it rotates (table, desk, etc.)

Sorry to respond so late. Because of space I can't attach the file but if you want to try it you can send me an ...

Mischief done

Hello everyone.

I know I still have a second Spinning Top Rubik prototype pending. By the way, I keep an eye on the publications. I'm still not satisfied with the results as to the size I want to achieve, and the cavities for the magnets will be a challenge.

Some time ago I made this Beigoma ...

I have been inactive for some time. I haven't made much progress with the new design, the last thing I did was try to find a suitable size for the core, but I've been having trouble getting the small pieces to not be too weak or easy to break.
I find the solution topic interesting, my suggestion is ...

These versions are much nicer than the one I have in gray

Really cool, I love your colorful version.
Thanks for sharing your video !

I love the ta0 version, it has a nice color combination .

Thanks so much for sharing a video and photos .

Again, if you want the file just write to my mail (sidgman1996@hotmail.com)

I will be working on another design later this year .

In many jigsaw puzzles springs are important, they allow stability. As this is a spinning top, they are even more necessary, so that the pieces are not loose. I'm sorry that you broke some pieces, I guess that printing in ABS or PETG will be much better for this spinning top cube.

I can't wait for ...

On the difficulty of the puzzle, I just realized that as the tip and crown (two "corners") can be rotated without change, this would make it easier to solve.
On the other hand the 3 smallest edges are not symmetric but almost: one side is taller than the other. So it would be difficult to tell ...

Sure, after I repair it I will post pictures and video. It will probably have to wait until the weekend.
I saw that Zenith installed a regular metal tip on it. I might print a standard-looking tip-piece in ABS, but I will have to be very careful not to break it. Unfortunately, if I used a flexible ...

I think with a few more improvements and some publicity from the spinning top and puzzle communities I can start talking to some companies.

Looks great :D, very nice color combination, sorry it broke. I would appreciate if you could upload more pictures and/or some video.

Regarding the difficulty, indeed, it is reduced if you separate the layers by colors.

I have no problem to share the file if you send me an email. But I could not ...

Thank you very much for your comments. :D
All the time invested in this project has paid off.
I am very happy with the result, I did not expect Zenith to be able to make a Boomerang with the puzzle, it is more than I expected.
With Zenith I am improving the spinning of the top, mainly to be able to ...

Yes, apparently it was not uploaded correctly.
