The floating maglev spinning topThis spinning top relies on magnetic repulsion to float in the air and spin with almost no friction. This does NOT require the Maker Supply maglev base, or any kind of power. It relies on simple permanent magnets only. Magnets in the base repel magnets in the shaft, in order to hold it up and push the point of the shaft slightly into the base. This leaves almost no friction, allowing the top to spin for a very long time with just a gentle input. The spiral part of the shaft is very good at catching air in one direction. This allows you to gently blow on the spiral, which can get the top spinning very quickly (see pictures/gifs). If you enjoyed this print please do let me know, and leave a review, a couple of photos, or even a boost. It would be great to see people enjoying this as much as I have after spending many hours dialling in the design. FilamentsI used PLA for all parts - it is best to use PLA rather than PETG or similar as PLAhas high stiffness
