**Want to show off your top? Download my [Display Stand for Tops](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6094353). It prints in as little as 10 minutes!**
###Update
**I've been experimenting with printing this top at smaller sizes and I've succeeded in printing it so it looks and spins well all the way down to 55%. To get the stem to print well that small, I made two significant changes: I created a new version of the STLs with thicker stems (labeled "55 percent" here) and I added GCODE to drop the temperature to only 177 degrees at 10.5 mm. That worked well, but the final trick that got the stem printing beautifully was to add a second instance of the top to the plate so each layer had a little time to cool before the next one printed. At 70%, the stem printed a little rough. If you have the same experience, you might try printing two of it at once as well.**
**I also experimented in PrusaSlicer with the Elephant Foot Adjustment in the Advanced tab. By reducing it from 0.2 mm to 0
