That's the plan, we will see. It may take a week before I have time.

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 all that, it is not complex to implement, and it could help to give stability that this toy needs. I will consider taking up this project again, it still seems interesting to me. :) ;)

Yes, Patricio, I think you should continue working on it. One that works well as a puzzle and as a top would have a market, I'm sure.

The last version that I printed is exploding due to centrifugal force. I need to get screws that grab better the inner core.
